"About time we dropped these sexist terms, surely?
And what exactly would you replace them with...  "
Ive got no idea to be honest. Just think its a bit off that married women should label themselves differently. |

"Yep, should drop all tittles: me, Mrs, Ms, Lord, Lady, Dr... It allows for stereo-typing and elitism. People should just use there names, what does it matter that you're a Mr, Ms Dr...?"
Let's go a step further and get rid of man, woman and anything they form a part of such as human, from now we are all called Hu |

Well I thought it was funny when I first joined. Four years later and it's only been commented on twice!
As I suspected you boys are of a more visual persuasion  |

I've used Miss, Mrs, Ms and Dr over the years and to be honest it makes sod all difference in how I'm treated. |

Mine called me Christopher, they couldn't even afford a middle name for me.
Question is; when I apply for insurance and they ask for my tittle, if I was to say Lord instead of Mr, would my quote be lower because they'd assume me to be better educated and better behaved so less risk? Or higher because the rich think they're outside of the law (I know, stereotyping) and can do what they want? |
