I always want to put in Admiral in the space for title.

I have never really liked the use of titles where women are concerned.
We may only know whether a man is a juvenile or an adult male by the use of the titles Mr. or Master on official forms.

For females however, we find out whether they are now, or have been, married (Mrs.), whether they have never been married or are juvenile (miss), or whether they don't want anyone to know their marital status, or don't want a title (Ms).

Yes, I believe that is most definitely sexist. I think that in this day and age we could do away with such titles, unless they are professional titles to do with a job.

It is sexist but not delibrate as it is old fashioned thing. It is not just tax forms though. Notice it here and there and think nobody actually adresses me as Mrs. BlahBlah.

If you go to a lawyer they do not have a title, or an accountant the same. Dr can mean Dr of many things so same again. Why not just say Mr. Smith Doctor of Dentistry, why Dr. Smith?

the forms you fill out..are designating you''a person'..subject to the act...the title mr= a military ranking..mrs designates property of a mr

them forms you dutyfully fill in..are forms for the public servants..who fall under the powers of the act...see we constituted govt...enable govt servants licence and registrations[powers]..under the relitive acts

you are applying to pay income tax..but no doudt dont even have income[mearly wages...we dont have a wages tax,,,its called income tax..because...one of the reasons we formed govt was to regulate and control business and trade...

income is proffit made from non value adding...income is taxable.wages arnt..read the hansard debates,,from when income tax was enacted...but somehow we all became subject to the laws of trade[mainly via the act of applying..[apply means beg...we are presumed to know for what we beg]

those who seek licence[under the powers of the act]..become subject to the act...mr mrs etc designates one ..'under'..the act

this is was happens when lawyers..are allowed to make laws..[and then former lawyers...as judges..that judge them]

we need sepperation of powers..from lawyers having their legal cartel/franchise...that makes ..then judges..laws for others

TheMissus,
I don't worry much about the tittles bit, my pet hate is why they want to know my gender.

Where the question asks, SEX? I have written at times. YES please!

Bureaucrats and computers find that difficult to handle. I once had the form returned to me with a note saying it was incomplete.

Because first names today do not identify the gender, age and status of the person it is essential when searching for identity to include additional options for identity. Names like Daryl, Lesley, Ashley, Coby, Casey etc If you have them front you are you looking at a boy or a girl, an adult male or a female. Identity theft is more prone if you cannot recognise the person. How often have you assumed the name represented an image in the mind only to find the person was of the opposite gender?
