Are you a Ms, a Mrs or a Miss?

[Botbot]

I'm a Ms, cos I'm not married and am far too old to be a Miss.

I remember the day I made the decision to be a Ms. Was in the late 80s, I was a teenager and my dad, who worked for a bank, told me that they were recruiting, and that any CVs that had 'Ms' on them were automatically binned. I was and decided then I was a) going to be a Ms and b) was never going to work in a bank. Oh and I didn't speak to him for the rest of the day

could be a doc, prof, rev, your excellency, hrh - must be others....

Miss soon to be Mrs.

Depends on my mood. Sometimes I'm a Ms sometimes a Miss. My mum always moans at me if I say Miss cause a lot was done to get Ms etc etc and if it;s not used enough it'll get phased out.

I was [shocked] at a previous thread here on the Ms thing - many women said they assumed that anyone using the title Ms was a) a bitter divorcee b) a frustrated lesbian c) a frustrated divorcee d) a slapper e) a bitter feminist, etc etc.

I'm a Ms.

Would love to be a 'your excellency'. Might suggest this to dp and dd.

Mrs as I am married

Would be Miss if not

begone with your Ms insanity

Ms

Mrs

Ma'am to you lot

They will still call you madam in shops though.

I'm a Ms unless I am using my professional title.

We had an argument about this a few months back.

used ms before and after i married, when i changed my surname i started using mrs
suprised on the under 30's thing, but also made me feel old

Ms i like to use it

I am still a Mrs atm as I'm not yet divorced.

Ms always and forever. I am married, but I don't feel the need to put an indication of my sexual availability in front of my surname.

I like being Mrs. Makes me feel happy. Bugger the feminists. Equality means right for every woman to choose for herself - not to be told she has to be a Ms or she is a doormat.

HA. Don't let a man control you, let the Womens Liberation Army do it instead.

Ms. Even if I were to get married, I would be a Ms. (Not that I'd change my surname or anything like that in any case.)

I'm married but I'm not anything.
If people ask me what my 'title' is I either say

a.)Mr
b.)'You choose'

Having to define yoursaelf as Mrs/Ms Or Mrs defeats the point.Men aren't asked if they are master or Mister,thus I won't tolerate such questions.

i just introduce myself by me first and last names (which is not dh/s).

My Swedish friend tells me that in Sweden there are no words for Mr/Mrs/Miss etc. You're just your first name, and your surname. I like that.

Yes Bot.
In Russia too.
Respect indicated by using both nmaes when talking to someone in authority.
I love it.

So choosyfloosy which are you, a, b, c, d or e?

Ms because:

I agree with all the feminist reasoning about being identified by the man in my life.

Also.... I was married, am not any more, live with dp but am not his wife.

so what should I be? Mrs. Exhusband, Miss DP or Ms Squonk?

Quakers too.

Fine people, the Swedes. Vodka, nudism, lots of state-funded childcare. I always feel slightly miffed that my great grandfather left the country under a cloud, bequeathing nothing but his Swedish surname (the one I am Ms of) to his descendents.
