The politically correct rules also mean a ban on Continental titles, such as Madame and Mademoiselle, Frau and Fraulein and Senora and Senorita.
Guidance issued in a new 'Gender-Neutral Language' pamphlet instead orders politicians to address female members by their full name only.
Ok the EU are a bunch of over paid, under worked, ineffective twats
However why is this so bloody complicated......you are either male or female. The whole minefield about how you address a woman is so over the top now. Simplify the whole issue. It should not matter whether a woman is married or single, use the one term ( like you would do for Mr so and so ) . This unfortunately only leaves the option of Ms - and take away the inferences from this that by choosing this option you are some ardent feminist or lesbian evil:
Likewise when filling in forms why the feck does it matter if you are single, married, divorced, separated etc - what the feck is that information used for if you are applying for something in the singular cussing:
-
I hate being Ms it reminds me of hairy legged lesbians.

I was being serious ~ in days of yore Mistress was the title applied to any "womoan" over a certain marriagable age. Mrs is simply a contraction of that.
But although I heard this on the BBC news this morning I detect the hand of the Daily (Hate)Mail in the reportage.

But the problem with the term 'Mistress' is that it also has either illicit or dominatrix associations rubschin:

The abbreviated title of this thread on the VP 'come inside' page is: "Euro chiefs ban tit" . eeek:
I am pleased to see it is just about titles for the fair sex.
Do the French have to ban Mme, Mlle etc as well?

The fecking world is going to hell in a handcart and the EU decide that calling someone Fanny is better than calling her Mrs Blank
