Do men have this issue with "sir" as well? I once called a 30-something man sir and he balked, whereas a 70-something professor of mine seemed to prefer it.  Trad men probably shouldn't. A lot of men do, but my theory is it's part of that youth-worship thing. I like a bit of formality between strangers, or when talking to elders, superiors, etc. Makes me feel more comfortable than being their buddy. Of course, on the Internet everyone's your peer unless they're ordained/consecrated IMO. |

"Tradition cannot be inherited, and if you want it you must obtain it by great labor." -- T.S. Eliot "The Catholic Church is the only thing which saves a man from the degrading slavery of being a child of his age." -- G. K. Chesterton "The Catholic priest is simultaneously the victim offered on the altar. All the older, traditional ceremonies of the Roman Rite underscore this foundational dimension of the Mass. If we don’t see that relationship of priest, altar, and victim in every Holy Mass, then the way Mass has been celebrated has failed. If we don’t look for that relationship, then we are not really Catholic. Mass is Calvary." -- Fr. John Zuhlsdorf Member of the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary: http://rosaryconfraternity.org/ |

When cashiers call me "hon", "sweetie", "dear", or anything like that I inevitably feel like hitting them. I don't, but I feel like it.
I...I.... don't know how to even respond to this hon  Sure you want to say that.... ma'am? |

Getting called ma'am drives me crazy :p In MO it happens way more than it does on the east coast. More of a sign of respect here...but it just makes me feel older than I am :p

I think it's a married vs unmarried thing. Although older women who aren't married (like Condoleeza Rice) would probably want Ms., and not miss.
She probably prefers "Dr. Rice" but would be polite if called Miss Rice. I don't think she would favor Ms. Rice; she's too conservative for that. In formal situations, most people who have earned a doctorate prefer to use it, just as most military officers prefer "Captain" or whatever their rank is, and many use it in retirement. I disagree about older women who are unmarried wanting to be called Ms. since every older woman I've ever known who fit that category was either called Dr. or Miss. |

"Courage, dear brothers! Probably half of us are in our old age. Old age, they say, is the seat of wisdom. The old ones have the wisdom that they have earned from walking through life. Like old Simeon and Anna at the temple whose wisdom allowed them to recognize Jesus. Let us give with wisdom to the youth: like good wine that improves with age, let us give the youth the wisdom of our lives."
"Let us never give in to pessimism, to that bitterness that the devil offers us every day. Do not give in to pessimism and discouragement. We have the firm certainty that the Holy Spirit gives the Church with His mighty breath, the courage to persevere and also to seek new methods of evangelization, to bring the Gospel to the ends of the earth."

One of the best side benefits of getting married is that no one tries to call me Ms anymore. And, on the rare occasion that they do, correcting to "Mrs" gets so much less weird looks than correcting them to "Miss." |

I'm not so sure about the "too conservative" - she supports abortion and gay 'marriage'. |

In other news, young western men are known to address any female as "bitch" nowadays.
I thought only negros and wiggas used that term. |
