Questions & Answers about Moi, je suis content, et toi ?

Why does the sentence start with Moi, je... instead of just Je suis...?
In French, you often use a stressed pronoun like moi (me) before the subject pronoun je (I) to add emphasis. It highlights who is talking, similar to saying "As for me, I am happy."
Why do we use toi at the end instead of tu?
Tu is a subject pronoun and must always be paired with a verb (like tu es). When a pronoun stands alone without a verb, such as after the word et (and), you must use the stressed pronoun toi.
How would this sentence change if a woman were speaking?
The pronouns moi, je, and toi stay exactly the same. However, the adjective content is in its masculine form here. A woman would add an "e" to make it feminine: Moi, je suis contente, et toi ?
Why is there an extra space before the question mark?
In French typography, punctuation marks built with two parts (like ?, !, :, and ;) always require a space before them.
