Why does ms change to mrs but mr doesn't change?
When women get married, their title changes from "Ms" to "Mrs", but when men get married their title stays "Mr". Why is that?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

Ohhh, I misunderstood your question. The most likely thing is also pretty depressing--women have historically been treated like commodities or a means to form a business or political relationship with another family. Changing from Ms. to Mrs. was probably a social custom to identify which women have already been "claimed"

You're very obsessed with this post for some reason even though it's irrelevant now. I never tried to start anything. I was asking a question, I did not imply that women can't go by what they choose, merely asked why there is a variation for married women and not one for married men. The fact that you clearly chose to take it that I was implying this was a male vs female issue, or that it's an issue at all which I never said it was, is your problem, not mine. Please, go get a life and step away from your computer before you attempt to argue with more random people on the internet over something stupid just because you assumed something else was meant by a simple question.
