What would be implied by a person or culture (possibly, but not necessarily, one of the Fair Folk) addressing people as "Daughter of Adam" and "Son of Eve"?
The obvious one is that the person has a religious background that includes the Old Testament. The not so obvious one is that the person/culture finds distinguishing by gender to be important.
The crossed genders (daughter of male, son of female) is a little harder to disentangle. If it were consistently applied, there would certainly be implications for family and social structures. Some of these structures might involve inheiritance, matri- and patri-locality, marriage, and definitions of kinship.
