The use of Miss/Mrs/Ms is purely a choice, and CHOICE is really what feminism was all about in the first place. Congrats to Molly Cox. She's a terrific kid and a hell of an athlete. Great team player, too. I'm glad to see she's doing well. 11:44, I agree. The use of Miss/Mrs/Ms is purely a choice, and CHOICE is really what feminism was all about in the first place.

Boys to men taken care of. The FMLA does give men the right to take maternity leave. Civil rights violation to take into consideration the title of one's "choosing". There is no pressure on women only a choice as to whether they want to assume the man's name at marriage and a man can assume the woman's name if he so chooses. Take away the Mrs/Miss in pageants and you are left with one pageant which would leave us with little to complain about when there is all the free t.v time we can watch something else. Choices are out there nowadays and to belittle someone elses choice is ridiculous. I was a miss and then a mrs, now I am plain old first, second, and third name, retaining my maiden name. I will choose whatever I want to use. I also think a prospective employer cannot ask you for anything other than your given name. They are restricted in a lot of ways than before. I give them only what they need and nothing more. As for changing after marriage, we all do men and women alike. Sexism is saying you can't do it because of your anatomy.

If women are defined by a title that designates whether they are married or not, why aren't men? Many dishonorable employers will take the subtle hint and refuse to hire/promote you because you may one day soon have kids and take a leave of absence (which, they assume incorrectly, no man will do this when a baby is born). It's sexist privately because it contains the notion that women somehow change when they become married - that marriage is something so special and sacred to women that it changes not only their title, but their last name as well. Why isn't there a married form of "Mr."? Why do only women feel the pressure to change their last names?? Mrs. is clearly sexist in a business sense.

Menlo Mania is next weekend. They are having a street dance with Stone Thro on the 7th. It might cut in on your "big party." Just thought you'd like to know. FYI. Menlo Mania is next weekend.

I saw a great bumper sticker once that while not defining feminism precisely, made me chuckle: "Feminism: the radical notion that women are people."

Why <i>wouldn't</i> you use Mrs.? The only reason I can think of is if you don't want people to know you are married. I agree with 12:12. Why wouldn’t you use Mrs.?

Wonder when the beauty pageant world will catch up with the rest of the world? Nevermind, I guess beauty pageants would be obsolete if that happened .
