To ask my pharmacist to use my actual title on my medicine

[Everythingisnumbersnow]

decided to edit this a bit for clarity - I'm a Ms, my pharmacist keeps writing Miss on the labels (as part of a wider pattern of annoying behaviour). Will I look mad if I say please call me Ms on my labels?

(The prescriptions all say Ms)

We really should just dump them all together, no one has a convincing argument for why we need to keep them unless it's something like Dr and even then there's no convincing reason why a Dr needs that title noted anywhere on their personal record.

@Willoo Good for you - guessing you go by Mrs? Personally I find the title Mrs outdated, irrelevant and misogynistic. I'm a Ms as indicated on my wedding certificate envelope 👍
The point is, you have a right to choose and that choice should be respected by others.

Re the argument that titles could be done away with , yes they could.

It's the pharmacists who have decided they will add titles on the labels- if they do that then they should use the title the customer has requested.

Yeah possible that nice a month, ie now and then.

Personally I don’t care what you think.

I’ll go by what I want, but won’t be caused any angst by the pharmacy getting it “wrong”

Agreed!

Oh I will do sweetie, with no hysterics.

I couldn't agree more. At the end of the day, it's simply about basic respect for others (something a few posters on this thread could do with learning a thing or two about, from the looks of their comments to you! 🙄).

I'm loving the illogical argument that Ms is pretentious. To make sense of that , then so are all the others.

And the 77% that voted OP is BU, don’t forget those.

Oops sorry, my mistake it’s 78% now.

I’m loving the angst about women called Mrs, means they’re in the “smug married club”.

We all have to get our kicks somewhere!

Yep. It's a sad reflection of the world that women think another women is being unreasonable for simply asking not to be labelled by her marital status, but at least it's not 100% (which it no doubt would have been a few decades ago). Progress is slow, but at least it's happening

Sorry this makes no sense - where are the important places according to you we can correct your details without it being a fuss?

Given around that % of married women change their title to Mrs and adopt their husbands surnames, you think they'd see the hypocrisy in telling another woman to stop making a fuss about what title she is registered with . Pot kettle black etc.

I didn't say that. I do think it's sad that a woman thinks she has to validate herself by announcing her marital status when it's completely irrelevant to the particular situation.

I think it's sad that some women can't see anything wrong with the situation that men have an all purpose, suitable for all men title, but women haven't. Or that women who would also like an all purpose title are the subject of derision by women like you.

I can see from bank accounts that I've picked Ms and Miss over the years. As far as I'm concerned neither actually show my marital status, except to small minded people who can't get their heads round the idea that a woman might chose not to disclose her marital status.

No one has angst about anyone being called Mrs though. Some people find it a little cringey but I haven't seen anyone suggest you're hysterical, fussy or pretentious, suggesting you're going by Mrs because you're actually embarrassed to be single and alone etc all accusations thrown at OP for choosing a different title and asking me to record it correctly.

You're not going to get a medal for going to bat for the patriarchy.

Oh good lord, no one has angst, have you read this thread?

I’m not sad in anyway hun.

I think the angst you're reading might be people feeling like responding to you is responding to a brick wall. If you're gonna make the argument that the pharmacy is not the hill for OP to die on and that she would "look mad" and there are places a teeny bit more important for it to be correct then you can tell us all where that is. It's a really simple question that seems to be beyond you.

I can't get my head round why some women can't see anything wrong with the situation that men, if they have to pick a title, have an all purpose, suitable for all men title, but women haven't.

And not only that, but women shouldn't be allowed to have an all purpose title without being mocked.

Did you not accuse me of having "angst" in this thread?

But you can't answer the question - why should every man just be a neutral "Mr" but women have to pick a title which is meant to show if they are single or married?

I don’t care! It’s not important to me!

I don’t need to answer your questions.

I’ll do me hun!

Responses like this show very clearly why feminism has advanced at snail's pace at best.
