What's the difference between asking someone title or someone's pronouns ?

I never got why conservative got crazy if you specify a pronoun, but at the same time expect you to specify whether its, it's Mr/Ms/Miss (and often don't take Dr as an answer), looks like the same question

They lost their minds back in the 60s/70s when women started using Ms instead of Mrs/Miss. Even into the 1990s, some conservative men were still butthurt about it. Rush Limbaugh was particularly offended over Ms Rodham-Clinton’s title and hyphen.

They lost the battle over women’s titles and the pronoun thing is their new hill to die on.

This here - this isn't anything new, people just forgot that they're living through the same shit over and over again.

Add to that, how DARE a woman choose something, anything!
