Personally, I do not mind if one calls me Mrs. Master or Aunt Malaprop for that matter. But I find it wrong that women still need to be addressed in regard to their relationship status. Why don’t we just remove all ther other jazz and stick with Ms.
Also, I gave in to the trend an tried something, do check it out.
A bilingual writer, Moushmi Radhanpara has authored three poetry collections so far, namely POSIES and 03:21 AM –An Ode to Rust & Restlessness, and Resignation of an Angel. She is also scribbling an unplanned rough draft of a story as a part of NANOWRIMO 2020 and hopes that something might come out of it. She has also co-authored two books, The Lockdown Stories and Mirage so far. Her poetries can be found on her blog https://aestheticmiradh.com/ and a few other online portals. She believes in the fact that a better reader makes a better writer. Reading a 100 books a year is her latest obsession. She can be found either drunk on coffee or hiding away from everything and admiring the gorgeous sun.

True very nicely said about women in general, Moushmi.
i feel over the years the title “mrs.” has taken on a very negative status. in days past, the title of “mrs.” was a very sought after status. women were seen as “nothing” if they were not married. it was a way to say a woman had “arrived.” much like a man had arrived if he got married. of course we all know this is crap, but most women use to see being married as being secure in life. they got married to have security. nothing really wrong with that and it really doesnt take away her identity. rather than looking at all this in a negative view, why not celebrate the fact we can each try to achieve our personal goals. if someone is offended by the titles, they also should be secure in their beliefs to say so in a kind and non threatening manner.

Why not have a gender neutral form of address, I say! Like “M.” for everyone.
