What’s the Sri-Lankan word for Karen

https://www.indiatoday.in/trending-n...519-2021-04-08


Shameful on so many levels.

1. WTH is Mrs/Ms/Miss world still happening in 2021
2. That previous winner (Caroline Jurie) was devoid of all grace and beauty when she made the decision to rip the crown off the lady’s head
3. Why on Earth would the runner up accept the crown after witnessing what happened. No beauty here.
4. That they actually believe that the status of a woman's attachment to a man means more than the woman herself.

It’s time to do away with “Ms. vs “Mrs.”Vs “Miss”.
Men are just “Mr.”. Why should anyone be able to tell and judge a women’s marital history? It’s freaking 2021!

Minx!
I remember talking about this with female students about 15 years ago.. I was shocked that they still thought it was a divorcee's or even an adult lesbian's title!!!
When I explained to them that it was the female equivalent of Mr. (i.e. it didn't denote their marital status) they were beside themselves!
All of them said they would be Ms Whatever from then on...
I was so proud

Hi

Loads of Keralan Nurses in Shrewsbury.

The Southern tip of India, not far from Sri Lanka.

Absolutely lovely and fluent English.

Why shameful? It's typical behaviour of many if not most women.

Tiss true that hell has no fury than a woman who feels scorned. The runner up felt scorned.

Before we married, V went by Ms rather than Miss or Mrs (she was divorced when we met).
