Ever think about how effed up it is that if you want to address a woman "properly" in a professional environment, you have to know beforehand if she is married?
Like WTF? Who came up with this? How far over into the patriarchy are we that someone's marriage status to a man changes their entire professional honorific?
(The answer is way too hecking much, and I've known this for awhile, but sending a lot of professional letters this week has reinforced it)

@trysdyn this is why we just always use "ms.", which was a title apparently invented in like the 70s or something by feminists who wanted to avoid that exact problem (and somehow managed it, which is promising)
or we'll use a professional title like Dr. or whatever, if they have a doctorate or whatever, of course
