why is mrs still a thing

Anonymous
I'm noticing at both my kids schools several teachers (including ones in their 30s and 40s) go by mrs. x. I personally can't fathom why someone would pick that over Ms. Is it some pride in communicating you're married? Just a preference for tradition? It's just so strange to me when we have Ms. to cover all women like we have Mr. to cover all men.

So if YOU prefer to be called mrs x.....why?

Old habits die hard. Religion is still a thing for example.

To make stupid progressives like you annoyed.

I thought the whole point was that people could be called or addressed as they liked. Now they need to justify it to you?

You are giving the same vibes as the feminists who are all about "choice" but hate nonstop on SAHMs.

Ms is bad because its pronunciation is bad.

"Missus" is a good pronunciation but "Mrs." already has that for spelling, as stupid that is. So, we are stuck.

What’s wrong with Mrs? If a woman is married and took her husband’s surname, and it’s what she prefers to be called, isn’t that pretty standard?

I think we should all switch to Mr. and Sir as Star Trek suggested decades ago.

There's nothing wrong with it. It's just some Ahole wanting to enforce their belief on something has been normal for years.

Wait, which one do conservatives prefer? I would have thought that they preferred Mrs. but the riled up people are the ones who don’t like Mrs. Are the conservatives the ones who prefer Ms now? This is getting confusing.

Frankly what should have happened is that ALL women over 18 get referred to as "Mrs." and "Miss" is what girls are called.
