Emme Witt, a writer who focuses on gender, sexu relationships. Here’s the story of my relationship w term “Ma’am.”

Once I got past 30, I began to experience people calling me Ma'am I can say I was pretty offended think I looked old?

Now that I'm 48, I'm called Ma'am on a regular ba flush of self-confidence when someone calls me M doesn’t happen very often).

Let's face it, I've always preferred to be called Mis sounds prettier. Ma’am sounds old and stodgy. B Miss simply makes me feel like I look younger tha

But the truth is, I'm not in my 20s anymore. I'm 4 look like a young girl anymore. I look like a Ma'am that I’m ugly I just don’t look young anymore

Add to that the fact that I've been married, theref longer a Miss, as the term connotes “not married had to accept I’m a Ma’am.
