in the slow pronunciation, the g in "og" is heard. is that the correct way to say it?
It's stylistic, but most people have a silent G there.
It is very hard with this pronunciation to discern whether she's saying Vi er kvinner og menn, or Vi er kvinne og mann.

It's an exception
Like in English: It's called "men" and not "mens".

Just got the new Crown Level thing and am having to go through all the lessons I already went through up to where I left off. This sentence on "fast" speed doesn't say "og" it sort of skips over it.
Yeah, Nadi666! So if you said it the other way around, would it be "menner og kvinne"? In the English language, some things just don't feel right when you say them--"more better", for example. Maybe it just feels better to Norwegians to say it that way?

I don't think so. I think the plural for "mann" is always "menn". Plus, kvinne = woman, not women.
