Explain why titles such as Mr., Miss, Mrs., and Ms. can be problematic.
What will be an ideal response?
These titles can be problematic for several reasons. First, these titles necessarily identify gender even when gender may not be relevant. In turn, using these titles carries the risk of misgendering people. In addition, some believe that “Miss” and “Mrs.” are outdated and condescending to women because it is often not necessary to identify a woman’s marital status in her title and “Miss” is often used in an infantilizing manner. These titles are also not inclusive of nonbinary people.
