Because they're not self-hating, dried up old witches with attitude problems?

Well that's certainly news to me.
I guess for now on, whenever I write a business letter to a lady I'll have to call her first and ask her if she's married.
My daughter and friends her age are all in search of guys who went to Man School. She even quizzed her (now) husband on stuff like wiring some lighting, fixing a leaky toilet and the always important spider killing. These girls have seen what happens when you try to be something you aren't.

Back away from the keyboard, NOW! :-)
Bridal showers are obviously a social situation...it just struck me as odd that I was given an address list marked Miss/Mrs. and was told ‘no Ms.’ I didn’t mean “Ms.” had been eradicated from usage...just a little anecdote I posted from my interaction with a 20 something maid of honor (planning a shower for her sister).
See my post at #26. The newlywed ‘Mrs.’ were really into the title...(the addresses were explained to me in great detail...that is why I remember ‘no Ms.’) It was just cute...the girl was so into the new surnames/titles. It was just a sweet little exchange that I thought I would share :)

“words of wisdom .... even after you are 75, call her your girlfriend / lover / wife as if all three have the same meaning. Tell her it still feels like you are dating.
It will earn you big brownie points.”
And, at 75 they will be REAL brownies! She will bake you some!
“...spider killing.”
I’m good at that, but I draw the line at the Costa Rican Chicken-Eating Spider.

For him, I call in an airstrike.
True. They could say "the girls and I," and be gramatically correct while still annoying the feminists.
I understand. I was just being a little sarcastic.
Good advice— and I can attest to its effectiveness;)
How does one flaunt what one doesn't have?

Sinning? You outright BLINDED ME!
BTW..This GIRL decided she liked her bra just fine and therfore decided not to ever burn it.
Came nose to nose with a banana spider in Florida once. Screamed like a little girl and my husband could barely stop laughing long enough to help. LOL
I’m happy to be an Older Lady. 41 and counting, eight children.
This isn’t a problem in my family. Everyone gets called a “guy” or “you guys”.
