Slaves to fashion

In 2016 it was the other way around, a lot of closeted people swung the vote. Thanks Hilary.

Per Debretts, it has been this way since at least the 1700s, not an “American” thing as you suggest. I’m starting to think this is just another social issue used to divide America, ie propaganda used to control people. And if it is purely preference in etiquette, what are you complaining about? The person sending the letter are allowed to exercise their etiquette preferences as well, right? Or do you also want to control people? Is this all just the fascists on the right vs the facisists on the left? This is how people like Trump rise to populisim, and how freedom and democracy die.

Absolutely disgusting rhetoric you are pushing. My wife is my partner, and vice versa. The prefix works in both directions, with either my surname or my wife’s surname, or even my wife’s maiden name. You are whitewashing slavery with you comment and should be ashamed of yourself!

Absolutely wrong, this is how the language works. I am my wife’s Mr as well, even with her maiden name.

Absolutely not, it applies in either direction, universally. I am Mr (wife) (wife’s maiden name), this is how the language works. Why is this offensive to YOU?

Yes, it is actually!

Suckers, all around

It is the most correct way. Even if she didn’t take your name, and even if your not married, she is your Mrs. Not sure why this would be infuriating, it’s the language.

Edit: honesty, the replies below are sexist and masogonistic. Yes, the women that you married is your Mrs, it’s the definition of the word. And likewise the man that you married is your Mr, for the same reason. It does not matter whether either party changes their name, it applies either way.

To suggest that marriage is ownership rather than partnership is disgusting, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Did slaves get referred to as Mrs. (slave owner)? No, they did not. Your suggestion is entirely inappropriate, and takes away from the reality that slaves had to live with. Disgusting misappropriation!

Grow up people, you can’t change the language to reflect your personal biases, insecurities and misunderstandings.

He was ~30 years old when women were finally allowed to open their own bank accounts.

Trump/Pence did nothing more than ride the Obama/Biden economic trajectory, until they bungled their Covid response and crashed the economy, then printed and gave away so much money that inflation ran out of control.

MAGA’ts are not real Republicans. The GOP is an extremist far-right party these days.

according to the concept of settler colonialism, colonizers cannot simply “become natives” as the term “native” refers to the indigenous people who inhabited a land before colonization, and the act of colonization inherently dispossesses and marginalizes those populations, making it impossible for colonizers to truly integrate as “natives” without addressing the historical power imbalance and injustices committed.

Key points to consider:

Definition of “Native”: Indigenous peoples are considered “native” because they are the original inhabitants of a land, with deep cultural and historical ties to it.

Power Dynamics: Colonization involves the forceful takeover of land and subjugation of indigenous populations, making it impossible for colonizers to simply claim the identity of the people they displaced.

Cultural Appropriation: Attempting to fully assimilate into a native culture without acknowledging the historical context of colonization can be seen as cultural appropriation.

However, it’s important to note:

Individual Actions: While a colonizer cannot become “native” in the true sense, individuals can actively work towards reconciliation by learning about indigenous cultures, supporting indigenous rights, and acknowledging the history of colonization.

Complex Situations: In certain contexts, there might be cases of individuals with mixed heritage, where ancestry ties them to both colonizer and indigenous populations, creating complex identity issues.

Religulous

White Mexicans are clearly descendents of the conquistidors, and many are mixed race with the native mexicans but here is a link to get yaself informed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_evolution_of_Mexico

But yes Mexico originally extended into colarado

The only “natives” here are Mexicans and Native Americans

Xwitter and other media companies should be regulated under the FCC, not sure if they actually are.

The FCC only has a policy prohibiting news distortion, but no “law, rule, or regulation.” So, media channels have free will to lie and exaggerate news to the American citizens.

Fox News won this court battle in 2003, said it was their 2nd amendment right to lie. And it has been a literal bullshit-show in America ever since.

This was not an accident by the Supreme Court, they are actively working on removing democracy from our government ever since they intervened with the 2000 election.

They are very close.

Crazy, right? Always has been, too.
