I stood in line at the supermarket checkout, a girl stood behind me

This rarest case occurred to me almost a year ago, but
I still remember that day as a nightmare, and since then I have been walking
to the store just after looking in the mirror for
subjectively objective assessment of their appearance.

And here is another case that I witnessed. In shopping
the center, the cloakroom attendant (she looked like 60-65 years old) took the top
clothes from visitors. A man of about 40, holding out his coat,
обратился к ней: «Девушка, возьмите, пожалуйста!» «howая я вам
girl! – angrily cloaked the cloakroom attendant. – I’m a grandmother already! What the
it’s a habit to call girls to death! ”Long after that
grandmother-cloakroom attendant could not calm down, everything is dissatisfied
muttered to herself.

Familiar situations, is not it? And the trouble is that we have
There is no generally accepted form of addressing a woman or a girl. AT
England – Mrs. or Miss, in France – Madame or Mademoiselle, in
Germany – Frau (formerly unmarried people turned to Fraulein, but now
this appeal is outdated and is already used with irony), in Spain –
senora or senorita. But in Russia – …

The October Revolution, along with the destruction of the royal regime
abolished and used forms of treatment of the time. ATместо
polite and respectful “madam”, “madam” or “young lady” all
became impersonal and floorless “comrades”. Soviet Union
the ill-fated “comrade” in the form of an appeal to women has also collapsed

And how now in modern Russia appeal to a woman? ATот
what forms researchers have identified.

there is no alternative. It turns out that we can only return to
obsolete and almost forgotten appeals of royal times? To this
find out we conducted a survey among our readers. ATопросы
asked the following:

ATопрос 1: how вы предпочитаете, чтобы к вам обращались на улице
(in the store, anywhere) strangers?

ATопрос 2: how чаще всего к вам обращаются, и какое обращение вас
most annoying?

ATопрос 3: how вы относитесь к обращениям: мадам, дама, леди,
young lady, madam?

AT результате опроса выяснилось, что наиболее приемлемы либо

Most respondents are categorically outraged by the treatment.

the medical staff addresses to all the woman and this is somehow not annoying.
But on the street, when a woman is obviously much older, then somehow

children, clearly no longer a girl … “

Regarding appeals “madam”, “madam” or “young lady” opinions
divided. Young readers aged 17-29 consider
such appeals are strange, ridiculous, or even annoying.

Associations emerge from those moments when the ignorant want to poke
your nose for something. “

Representatives from 30 years and older to such forms of treatment
are, on the contrary, quite tolerant and calm, and even welcome
them as the most acceptable.

Summing up our little research, you come to
the disappointing conclusion that they are acceptable to all, polite and
respectful forms of appeals to Russian representatives
Unfortunately, we do not have the beautiful half of humanity. how же
then be?

I propose to submit this issue for consideration in our

wrong! A “young lady”, “madam”, “lady” – just need to get used,
it sounds very nice. Just forgotten all good and
