Could you say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am? It's just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title. I'd appreciate it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Except for the title 'father,' there is no title, including 'vice president,' that I am more proud to wear than that of United States senator.
Can you, in a million years, imagine another female senator - Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Claire McCaskill - reacting to being called 'ma'am' like Barbara Boxer did? This is the kind of sanctimonious self-absorption on the modern left that makes my teeth itch.
In addition, there is one title I cherish a great deal more than Congressman and that is the title of... Dad.
Congresswomen are congresswomen - you are, sorry. And for women who want to be congressmen, there's a screw loose in their head. I'm proud of being a woman. I think 'congresswoman' is the appropriate term, and 'Madame chair' is just fine with me.
I am a mom as well as a senator!
Y'all have no idea how many times I say, 'Yes, ma'am.'
The one thing I do not want to be called is First Lady. It sounds like a saddle horse.
My mother's name was Miriam, but most people called her Mim.
Though I'm a congresswoman by title, a politician I've never been.
My mom is in the navy and my dad works for the army, but I never called them 'sir' or 'ma'am' or anything like that, and we never really moved around a lot because both my parents were stationed in D.C.
