Titles

To my knowledge, Hillary Clinton has not resigned her Senate seat. So why do I keep seeing articles* referring to her as "Mrs. Clinton," hmm?

Regardless of your personal opinion of her, she is a US Senator, and has as much right to the title as any man in the same position. Are we really so mired in the past that the highest position anyone is willing to imagine for a woman is that of wife?

ETA: I've also noticed a lot of articles referring to her as "former first lady Hillary Clinton." See above, people: she is a current US Senator. Examine your rhetoric.
