I'm your woman???

Question

0 I know the expression "I'm your man" meaning "I'm the right person for it", but I've never heard a woman use this phrase.  What is the woman's version of "I'm your man"?  Do they say "I'm your woman"?  Somehow it seems to be inappropriate to me.  I once heard a woman (Nikki in the TV sitcome "Spin City") say "I'm your guy."  Is this what women usually use? 02br02br00Thanks for your help in advance. 0-

00I believe "I'm your guy" here means I'm the person you need. If she had said "I'm your woman" that would have been understood as the right woman for her interlocutor in life. 02br

00And I remember a song: "You're my woman, I'm your man", so I guess a woman can also say "I'm your woman". 0-

0 I'm not sure. I'm your man is such an idiom that I have used it, even as a woman, but I have also used I'm your woman.  I wouldn't say either in a completely straight faced way though, I'm aware that they both sound a bit funny from a woman, so I would say them in a way that put across a slightly jokey meaning. 0-

0 Thank you for your information.  So women use both "I'm your man" and "I'm your woman", right? 0-

0 I agree with Nona  -- a woman might say either one, but if she said "I'm your man" she would say it somewhat ironically because of course she's not a man, and if she said, "I'm your woman,"  she would say it somewhat humorously to avoid a romantic or sexual connotation. 0-
