At work today a co-worker told me that she hates being called "Mrs." I asked her why and she replied she is her own person and is not "owned" by any man. She told me she'd rather be called Ms. than Mrs. And why do women have three options? Miss, Ms. and Mrs...or worse yet even, Ma'am! Ma'am is some old woman.
Now men have Mr. (and you can't tell if they're married...whereas Mrs. you can). And men are called "Sir" which can really sounds more respectful an not old-ladyish like "Ma'am".
The only reason she did take his last name was for the sake of the children she knew they'd have one day. She told me she's always believed this way...even as a young girl.
No man owns a woman, but when they marry, the man assumes some level of responsibility for the woman, and respect is due to him as the husband and head of household. If she is unable to grasp this fundamental truth of marriage, she may have a little bigger problem than the dilemma of how should people address her.
I got a license to ride, but no certificate of title with mine. Think of it as a lease - but not binding.
Anyway, I think the "Mrs." title is becoming more and more obsolete, though many still use it and value it. We have different last names, so it doesn't work all that well for us anyway. "Ms." works just fine for her, if one is needed.
he never did own her and he does certainly not now. the exact opposite is true.
do u think if wives were slaves , there would be 42 million divorces since 1975 (no fault) 70% filed by women?
she is the owner and trainer, no fault law, community property law and credit law made it so, but men continue to sell themselves into slavery.
stop it. stay a handsome prince forever and keep your assets, do not marry.
this op reminds me of the angry AA threads that talk about being oppressed by the cruel white slave master--- while they beat unconscious old ladies on the subway, "knockout king" and "gooning".
When I got married I could not wait to be called Mrs........ It is an honor to take my husbands name. We have been married almost 13 years and I still get a kick out of someone calling me Mrs.......... I have in no way lost my personality, I am still my own person, he does not own me. I have never understood while a women would not want to take her husbands name.
Maybe she just likes her own name or is used to having her name or doesn't care for his name or doesn't see having the same last name as remotely important to their relationship?
I think it's great that you are happy with your decision about your name, bur why do you need to question why other women feel differently?

Because i like MY name and he can take mine instead :-P.
i have yet to meet a woman that would allow themselves to be owned, and if i could "own" a woman, id definitely want to buy the extended warrantee!
