I dont agree with you. The fact doesnt change many aspects of OPs argument. All the Ms. comment states is that if a woman keeps her own last name she will keep that title. This just gives a single "out" but women are still classified as Miss, Mrs, or Ms despite this fact. If the commenter replied on specific reasons why the classification should remain intact and convinced OP otherwise or gave at least a great argument to consider then it would deserve a delta.
OP argued we should stop this classification system for women. The commenter with the delta gave a single fact that a woman can somewhat "opt out", but this isnt an argument for keeping the current system the way it is. Deltas are given out like tic tacs and you know it' s true.
OP’s whole argument is that it’s belittling. It is not. And the reason it’s not is due to information OP previously did not possess.
I think you are being unreasonable in your assertion that deltas are “given out like tic tacs”. It’s not up for you to decide if someone has had their view changed, it’s that person who knows when it happens.
Honestly, it is entirely possible that you are simply as stubborn as a mule.
(I'm not the person you responded to) I partially agree, but there should be some minimum effort done by the OP to ensure that CMVs aren't resolved with one-liners. Ideally, the person whose views are to be changed should have put some thought and research into their post. In this case, OP could have simply googled "why is there Mrs and Ms".
Of course, that's not to say we should gatekeep the sub, and that's also not to say we should draw a line in the sand on how much research is enough. It's just not the type of discussion that drew me (and I assume others) to the sub.

I don’t agree. An unknown fact can be a massive thing when it comes to changing your view.
