Does the Times have an ulterior motive or is it just sexism as usual?

Just because Hillary Rodham Clinton is married to a famous person is no reason to use an inappropriate honorific in front of her name. The Times must be picking up tips from the Senate roll call.

Good catch. I suppose the excuse would be that "Mrs." distinguishes her from Bill, but Senator Clinton does, too, and is her proper title.

This is the same NY Times that is obsessed with the Clintons' sex life, right?

Actually, when I wrote my posts last week on the equitable address of men and women [link] I checked Times articles, hoping to find a juicy example.

Instead, I discovered the NYT regularly refers to male Senators as Mr. Kennedy or Mr. Frist as well. Maybe it should be Senator in every reference, but they are at least demonstrating gender equity.

Yes, the Times does not use the "Senator," etc. honorific. I have no problem with that. My problem is with their using "Mrs." That is not gender equity.

Well, that thought certainly crossed my mind, so I'm not surprised.
