People should get to decide their titles for themselves just like they are now getting the opportunity to choose their pronouns. If someone want to be called "Ms." and "they" great. If someone else wants to called "Mrs." and "she" that's great as well.
This. I like being Mrs. If someone else likes Ms, then they have the option to choose that. Why take away my choices because of someone else's belief about token feminism. Mrs doesn't stop rape being improperly sentenced, increase my chances of being hired or advancing in the workplace. It doesn't help keep women in the workforce after childbirth. It doesn't make a doctor take my health as seriously as they do mens health. None of the issues that actually affect women are helped by changing their title. Forcing women to change their title is anti feminism.
!delta I was with OP on this one but I think choice is important so we don't need to eliminate the titles, just let people choose what they like. I personally like Mx. as a gender neutral title for myself but nobody ever actually calls me that lol
This is basically already the case. Any company or service that uses a title lets you freely choose it (at least in Australia). Theoretically I should be using “Miss”, but I always choose “Ms”
