Ok, an oldie in the world of feminism.

I am a Ms. I have been a Ms since I was about 15. Back then it was a strange thing to do, but its 2013 now so isn't that odd I thought.

Apparently not. One of the post office workers tried to turn down my passport check today because I was married and therefore need to be Mrs. Yes need, as in I have to be. I explained I have never been a Miss or a Mrs, and don't intend to start now. She went and checked with a supervisor. Confused

I should have known it wasn't going to go well when she refused to believe that an adult may not have a current valid passport...

Of course an adult can be without a valid passport.

As for the Ms/Mrs thing ... well ... what did the supervisor say btw?

I fully intend on remaining a Ms if I ever marry.
