This Witch doesn't burn

and they should be changed to Ms
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politi...berry-12507410 Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry has criticised the Mr Men and Little Miss books, saying they imply that women are “less”. The MP wants the female characters in Roger Hargreaves’ works to be referred to as Ms, not Miss she doesn't have much to concern herself with does she, its a good job there are no issues with Foreign Affairs at the moment

She should recieve two fingers stuck up to her and be told to bugger off.
If she wants to name books, then she should make her own. Last edited by Alf; 10-05-2018 at 09:29 AM. |

Miss is still a perfectly valid term so there is no need to change it. Also, the term Ms has been around since the 17th century, with exactly the same meaning ....
