She should recieve two fingers stuck up to her and be told to bugger off.

If she wants to name books, then she should make her own.

Miss is still a perfectly valid term so there is no need to change it. Also, the term Ms has been around since the 17th century, with exactly the same meaning ....

I mean they're OK but I wouldn't say they're the sexiest... seems like an exaggeration
