It seems super weird this "ms" and "mrs" thing. Do you really address women differently according to their marriage status? Why? That seems extremely sexist thing to do. I though it is long gone relic of the past where married women were treated like men's property.
This thing doesn't exist in my native language, so I'm always baffled why this is still a thing in English.

Ms is increasingly the standard, regardless of status, in the USA. But the name change is still pretty popular I think. Younger generations are more likely to buck the trend though, I think
