Ms Miss Mrs and Mr. Why do females only get a mature title when they marry?
My younger brother is already a Mr. It's on his bank card and driving licence. Although passports don't use titles it is common-place that a female is a Miss until she gets married. But my brother and all the other young men I know are already Mr's just by being a male. 'Master' should be the young term for a male but it's never used.
My bank card and Licence are titled Miss, but I am 21. If I want an official mature title the only option seems to be Mrs but why do I need to get married for that? Mr is given automatically. My bank does not ask me whether I want to be titled Miss, or the age-fluid title, Ms, they just assume I'm a miss because I'm not married. As if I am only a woman when I get married otherwise I'm not mature enough.
To change my title to Ms on my bank or Licence I need to fill out a whole name changing form.
I want to make a change in the world so that institutions will offer and recognise Ms automatically so females don't feel degraded.
If you are an unmarried woman reading this I encourage you to consider changing you title from Miss to Ms to make a stand against these marital titles.

STOPThis is true. I have never been married and once I was over the age of 25 I used Ms as my title. I have been told that there is a new to bring it so that it is a bit more gender neutral. Mx is now being used by several of my younger friends. In time we might remove this silly distinction now that women are no longer judged by their marital status.
