Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[(Anonymous)]

Instead of Miss

and it made me feel mad

and a little like an old spinster teacher (curse you tv stereotypes)

>:(

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[nan]

Haha, aww. ;^; I've been doing that since I was 18.

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[(Anonymous)]

I've been resisting! But this year I've decided I should give it up as gracefully as I can

*GLARES AT FORM*

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[(Anonymous)]

I've always done that. "Miss" makes me feel too young, usually too young to be eligible for filling out whatever form it is.

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[(Anonymous)]

But I feel too young and stupid to be a Ms D:

(25 years though, so should suck it up...I held out as long as I could!)

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[chardmonster]

Oh geez. This is adorable, but you're kind of missing the whole point of "Ms" existing. The connotations have changed now, but originally it was a sort of political statement--a "you can't define me by my marital status" thing. That's why Ms. Magazine exists. It wasn't supposed to be about age.

Don't worry, Ms. People will still card you.

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[(Anonymous)]

yeah but old spinster teachers / librarians are super rad

so there's that

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[vethica]

I've always liked being a Ms.! It makes me feel cool and grown-up. Maybe I am just biased because my mom is also a Ms. though. :P

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[inkdust]

I feel that way too :)

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[starphotographs]

I've always preferred Ms., because Miss sounds less "young" and more "you are in trouble for something." D: Like... "Wait just a minute there, missy!" It makes me bristle.

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[(Anonymous)]

I've been checking "Ms." since I started college (at least, on any form that gives me the option). "Miss" made me feel like a little girl.

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. And here I was thinking that Ms. is all awesome and feminism-y.

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[(Anonymous)]

I've always used 'Ms' for all women.

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[(Anonymous)]

me too?
raised by angry feminists I guess.

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[tabaqui]

To me, Ms always just meant an unmarried woman who was over the age of 18 - not a Miss (little kid) and not a Mrs.

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[(Anonymous)]

I'm married and I use Ms because I think it's stupid to have a different form for being married or not.

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[(Anonymous)]

+1

Re: Today I filled out my first form claiming myself as a Ms

[(Anonymous)]

I always use Ms. and I will continue to use it if/when I get married. Unless I manage to complete my PhD by then, in which case I'll use Dr., for similar reasoning: it's bullshit that women are titled by marital status, when men are not.
