Seriously?

so, whether or not a woman PREFERS to refered to as miss (madmoiselle) is irrelevant on official forms.

Gotta luv it!




Plus, it sounds more feminine than the other term, and it's prettier to the eye. The other one looks so butch-dyke!

Status: offline 		You will have to provide your own french accents outrageous for this....
A man strolls the Champs Elysee in Paris and accosts a beautiful woman...
Monsieur: Will you go to bed with me, Mademoiselle?
Mademoiselle: (aghast, taken aback) What do you take me for, Monsieur?
Monsieur: But Mademoiselle, I will give you 50,000 francs for the honor of this interlude.
Mademoiselle: Oh, but Monsieur; I can see I have misjudged you, you are certainly a man of genteel nature and of great refinement...(coquettishly) What will you do when we share our bed of love?
Monsieur: I will lay you ever so gently in the finest linens in Paris, I will sprinkle you with fresh rose petals, I will tie you in the softest and silkiest flaxen ropes available—All the while; softly whispering passionate and wonderful words of lustiness in your pretty little ear.
Mademoiselle: (fanning herself, chest heaving) And then what will you do with me, Monsieur?
Monsieur: I will then bring forth my riding crop and beat you mercilessly as you scream in horrific pain.......
Mademoiselle: (horrified) Mon Dieu! And how long will you beat me, Monsieur?
Monsieur: Until I am once again in possession of my 50,000 francs; you ignorant whore...

I love the word mademoiselle but the reasoning for this is something I agree with.

The french government decided it wasn't their business if women were or weren't married; especially since there isn't a corresponding title for men.

Status: offline 		ok, I GET that. But what of the women that PREFER to be called mademoiselle?

Here, we get miss/ms/mrs.

so why can't teh French acknowledge that not every woman will want to be referred to as madame?

Status: offline 		the French took it off official forms because most (unmarried) women DID NOT prefer to be called mademoiselle ...

so did German authorities with "Fräulein" some years ago for the same reason ...

maybe you could accept it as a tiny lesson just how different different cultures may be
