Miriam Gonzalez Durantez 'self-confessed feminist'

Joan Smith criticises RW press comments on Miriam Gonzalez Durantez here

I like this: "Take Mrs Clegg, who for reasons best known to herself ? principally, I suspect, the fact that it's her name ? insists on being known as Miriam Gonzalez Durantez."

So true Trillian - I've never heard anybody saying: "Really, this man, just had a baby and already working? How horrible! Why did he have children in the first place if he doesn't want to take care of them?"

Trillian: in my experience the Señora/Señorita is entirely subjective depending on how old or how "married" you look. I'm 36 and still get called "señorita" when on my own. When with DH or my DC I invariable get "señora". A man however is "señor" right from the time he gets to looking like an adult.

And yes, Miriam is a star. I fully agree.

Even for someone (journalists, for example) who doesn't understand Spanish naming conventions, there is no excuse for referring to her as 'Mrs Clegg'. MGD has made it expressly clear that she has kept her maiden name.

It has annoyed me for a couple of years, since she's been in the public eye.
