Mrs,have been for 45 years.
Couldn't care less about what some silly little insecure radical feminist thinks.Heres one very strong capable female,who doesn't need any ones permission.

Ms is fine if you choose it.
Do you tell other women they ought to use it?
That is the bit that upsets me. If someone is Ms I use it,
but expect the same courtesy back with Mrs and don't feel that it needs to be discussed or justified.
I hardly ever use my title now anyway - since retired I mainly use my name alone. Both names if in a formal situation.

Mrs. I have always been proud to be Mrs hjj. When you marry and take your husband's name I think it is only right to use the title Mrs.

Usually Mrs, but not really bothered as long as people are polite to me.

Ms. Does that make me a militant feminist and is that a term of abuse smile

Ms. Always.

Which are you?
I am Mrs and can't stand Ms, but militant feminists think I am a disgrace to womanhood; apparently we can't be equal to men while we have a title that shows marital status and they don't.
I am all for free choice and using people's preferred title.
What is your opinion?
