Yeah -- IIRC, Barbara Boxer had a problem with being addressed as "Ma'am." She wouldn't have been happy with "Mrs. Boxer" either.

I guess I'm old fashioned. My grandmother taught me that "Ma'am" was a term of respect. Times change ...
Reminds me of the games played concerning what we call the Black population of Americans.
negro, n****r, black, Black, African American, colored, I probably missed a few.
The left changes and confuses terms and names. Not knowing which term/name is appropriate in which situation is used as a hammer to attack. These aren't static terms but they move and change so unless you're in on the game you can never always get it right.
All of the names above are used without offense by the leftists but all of the terms above are fraught with danger if a person of the right uses them incorrectly (even innocently). There is no rule book for you to follow because then you would master the rules and it couldn't be used to beat you with then.
Just the act of me typing out those names and offering an opinion is an act of "racism".
Admit it, you flinched when you saw what I wrote.
Wake up, you've been conditioned.
