There is nothing wrong with addressing a woman as ‘ma’am,’ and I believe that the decline of this practice is one more sign of general courtesy slipping away in our generation. It seems that the title ‘ma’am’ is applied according to the age or relationship of the woman. Many women these days are in denial of their aging. Some seem to believe that being called ‘ma’am’ means that they are old and that ‘their time has passed’–or even worse, simply ‘look old.’ It’s probably all related to the obsession of youth and youthful beauty in our culture. There are many ways in which women try to deny or delay their aging, and a negative reaction to the word ma’am is just one part of it. Don’t ask me why men and women of all ages buy into that stuff. You can call me ma’am all you want, and many people do.
