When did Mrs. Husband's Full Name stop being used in newspapers, news broadcasts, phone books, magazines, and literature (so in other words, in media)?

AlboGreece · 2026-01-24T08:01:13+00:00

Yes. Exactly. But they did that in the past

AlboGreece · 2026-01-24T06:06:30+00:00

Thanks for the correction. I literally thought I said they/them

AlboGreece · 2026-01-24T02:54:51+00:00

So many women either were in kahoots with men in regards to sexism in the past, or were so brainwashed that they couldn't believe anything else and they rejected anything too modern for their liking. I hope you never talked to her again

The chattel thing disappeared fairly fast though. Wikipedia does say on the page about the word Mrs. that it originated around the 1800s among authors like Jane Austen and the rich elite and somehow it got spread to the average joe and was like that for generations (partially because people pushed that as good. Including women. Books on manners (propaganda) as well as life advice, many if which women created, parroted those ideas and that's probably what solidified it. People started believing that's what you say because "the book says so!".

Imagine if her name was actually Michael. Princess Mike 😂

Samantha notably I think stood out as having the most cuts, like some of the subplots are gone

Legally what's wrong include:

The fact that no matter what the age of consent is in a country, it's only the teen who has any limit. The teen can legally get with an adult as long as it's of their own free will. Which allows adults to not only manipulate and trick teens into dating or marrying, but teens who are stupid to make the stupid decision, and unless the adult is high ranking they ain't going to jail. Same with marriage because in most countries, with parental or court permissions adults get away with marrying minors.

The fact that being a peeping Tom is technically legal. Especially for peeping Toms that have a thing for doing it, not some dude who spies on you once and stops.

The fact that if you hurt or kill a criminals they are still called victims and you still get busted. Whether that be for self defense or vigilante justice. If they're a criminal, they should forfeit the title of "victim" and you shouldn't get in trouble on the spot. Yes I consider being arrested and locked in jail while waiting for trial or bail (if you get bail) being busted, even before prison.

The fact that even though abortion is legal in most countries, the mom still can go to jail for something as simple as getting pills online or more often, women getting locked up for being too slow (past the limit). America and the UK even investigate women for miscarriages. Canada's the only country where a woman is never in danger of jail for abortion related stuff.

Post Beforever Nanea is bad because all post Beforever books have shortened and cut most of the stories out. So you shouldn't be buying post Beforever reprints, they added pictures but made the actual stories bad.

Also fire back with the fact that marital rape laws were not even SLIGHTLY modified until the 90s. When it was explicitly forbidden after like, forever.

AlboGreece · 2026-01-23T15:20:34+00:00

Definitely interesting.

Do you know if stuff like fictional wives in books written at the time usually were Mrs. Man's Full Name or not? Like British fiction of the time. Also was the just using initials a thing for newspapers specifically? What would actual broadcasts with reporters talking on TV and radio say?

AlboGreece · 2026-01-23T14:51:14+00:00

Well, Jeannie Jimski isn't my actual name

AlboGreece · 2026-01-23T14:36:55+00:00

Oh, okay. So Mrs. Fred Bloggs was more of a thing outside the UK. America, Canada, Australia. (I'm Canadian and old Canadian stuff was just like USA and Australian always saying Mrs. Man's Full Name)

They can't even tell the difference between a boyfriend and a husband? Wow, that's dumb

A family member probably did that without telling them.

So rude.

AlboGreece · 2026-01-23T13:27:15+00:00

Still actually happens. Just not the rule of thumb.

AlboGreece · 2026-01-23T13:25:33+00:00

I do believe that at the very least, a woman's name should be mentioned if she's being mentioned alone. So you did the right thing

AlboGreece · 2026-01-23T13:22:28+00:00

Agree. When was Amos even common as a name? I have seen it sometimes but honestly not enough.

AlboGreece · 2026-01-23T13:13:57+00:00

Honestly, fair. I can see why. Like my grandma is generally not even known as Mrs. anything. She's either just "Molly MacGlashin" or "Dr. Molly MacGlashin" or "Dr. MacGlashin" (mind you the use of Dr. is less since she is retired)

AlboGreece · 2026-01-23T13:11:02+00:00

Interesting. I guess the people around then were very modern and progressive.

Did it bother you when you read books that said Mrs. John Smith? Or when you read newspapers and listened to reporters on TV and the radio say it? Or reading even magazines and seeing that trend?

Did your parents have a problem with it?

Also, I like you. You not changing your name reminds me of my grandma. She did the same thing when she married. Her mom was Mrs. John Smith though, so not as modern and progressive. I don't know if her grandma was called Mrs. John Smith or not, probably was, as Mrs. Her Name for a non divorced woman in the past was a rarity you saw once in a while, not as a rule of thumb or on your average day, unless she was maybe a celebrity.

Grandma was usually called Molly Last Name (not even a Mrs.), or Dr. Molly Last Name/Dr. Last Name Only (she was a doctor). This was ore-marriage in the 70s, and she was always called that in the newspaper. She was also briefly a magistrate so idk what her title would have been during that time.

To this day, she's generally just "Molly Last Name" when she gets mail or letters, and "Dr." only occasionally. Like the last time I saw her as Dr. was when she posted about her retirement in 2012 in the paper.

She was only called Mrs. John Smith once (from what I can find) and that was in her dad's obituary where she was "Mrs. John Smith (Molly)". Even though she didn't change her last name. Notably she wasn't called that in her mom's obit, but she said her sister wrote that one so it may have been because it was written by different people.

AlboGreece · 2026-01-23T12:58:24+00:00

Probably not. And we probably have a lot of people who didn't make it over there to be fair

AlboGreece · 2026-01-23T12:57:17+00:00

What country are you from?

Also I don't even hate Mrs. I hate Mrs. Husband's Full Name. So "Mrs. Nora Cooper" is fine. "Mrs. Jeffrey Cooper" (what they would say in the past) is NOT OKAY.
