Rejected petition Scrap the title of "Lady", for spouses of men who are made "Sir"!
I want the government to acknowledge that we live in 2025, now, and that women are equal to men! When a woman is made a "Dame", their spouse doesn't gain a title, but when a man is made "Sir", the woman becomes a "Lady", which while nice for the woman, shows that men are seen as superior, still!
More details
To demonstrate equality, and to move with the times - a lot of same sex couples, exist, nowadays! Many divorces, occur!
Only the person who is honoured, should gain a title, female or male!
