What's your title?

[LorlieS]

I'm married.
I go by the title of Miss at work (primary teacher) and Ms everywhere else.
Hate it when people refer to me as Mrs S.
Nope - that's my mum!!!

Ms. Cos it's none of their bloody business. Took me a while to get used to it, but I hate either of the other options now.

Ms, though titles being used less.

Considering Mx but still a bit out there for me.

Don't use one.

I don't buy anything online if there is a drop down box without the option for a blank.

Very occasionally my work takes me into a secondary school. The headmistress gets all twitchy when I ask the pupils to call me by my first name.

Banks are a bit variable. My regular one is okay about no title. When I had a large inheritance and needed to park a 6 figure sum another bank couldn't cope with my lack of title. So I moved on.

I hate Ms with a passion.

Always been Ms. Have felt strongly about this since growing up in 80s. Remember as a very young child being perplexed / annoyed that men were simply Mr but women had a string of titles to identify their marital status. Still feel the same!

Don't often use one but if I do, it's Ms. I kept my own surname on marriage so wouldn't ever use Mrs, especially not Mrs His Initial His Surname.

@PermanentTemporary I'm a primary teacher so mine is used frequently.
The children still struggle to comprehend that I'm a married Miss!!

Ms. If anyone gets arsy about that/calls me Mrs instead they're told it's Dr.

We use Ms at work for all female staff
I would prefer to use Mrs to be honest. I am married and that’s my status.

DH has a very feminist friend who quite correctly uses Prof. The assumption that Prof is automatically a male title is a huge insult to her.

I'm a Professor but would only ever use it at work as it's a job title. I do use Dr for forms etc as my title did formally change when I got my PhD and I prefer it for feminist reasons, I hated the Miss/Mrs question and have never been a Mrs. But in most situations I prefer to be called my first name.

I try and avoid having to have a title, and use Dr (legitimately) if I have to.

Dr
(not medical)

Always been a Ms

@Ewoklady Why is Mrs your status because you're married?! I'm married and most definitely not a Mrs!

Dr unless it's a situation where anyone might mistake me for a medical doctor.

Ms or Mx

I hate having to select a title

I use Mrs.

I refuse to use Ms as it means fuck all and is a fatuous construct.

I'd rather titles didn't exist at all.

However , due to many forms and websites insisting on titles I use Mrs.

I loathe using my maiden name as it needs to be spelled, every single time ( gets really irritating after 60 years!)

My husband's surname was a way to escape it . It only has one syllable.
Yet here I am still having to spell my single syllable name every single time!!!

It's bollox but I love being Mrs single syllable.
Much better than Ms ' can you repeat that.. sorry I got lost after the 'e' .. sorry , you said wsj.. can you start again please'

Mrs if I have to, otherwise just my name

Mrs. I work in a school so its used a lot.

@ClematisRock So if Ms "means fuck all", what does Mrs mean?!!

If I have to Ms, usually just first name last name.

Since moving to France, I've been Madame.

Adult, human, females are Madame here whether you are married or not.

Much simpler.

Was happy being a Miss or Ms before I was married. Now I’m married I’m a Mrs. Had no idea people got so het up about it.

Refusing to buy something online if they make you put in a title in a drop down menu? Not using a bank because they insist on a title?? Not sure what point you’re trying to prove there. Like the website or bank will give a flying fuck, like they will ever know your reason for not progressing with a transaction.

I was always told not to use Ms as it's women trying to be difficult or that can't find a husband. So obviously I use Ms.

I am also not married and felt perturbed and embarrassed that people would know this if I used miss but with age comes the glory of not giving a fuck

@Moveoverdarlin As feminists we get "het up about it" because it's a patriarchal construct. One title for men regardless of marital status. Why should it not be the same for women?
And no, nobody automatically becomes a "Mrs" upon marriage either! I'm a (married) Miss My Family Name 👍
