Closed Man = Mr. Woman = Ms.

Closed on

We the undersigned recognise our right for gender equality and would like to see the UK drop the words "Miss" and "Mrs". Using only "Ms" as the general term of address for women is a neutral option and un-discriminatory.

Gender equality is expanding and providing freedom for both sexes, there is no justification or need to refer to a woman's matrimonial situation.
