Gender in Germany
Over the years, the term 'Fräulein' has dropped out of use in German. You can still use it for small-fry but it is considered rude to use it on an adult... in much the same way that Miss has varying popularity in English. The consequence of this is that German websites and forms in translation often only give one option for titles for women- either only Mrs or only Ms...
On a vaguely related note, Dresden seems to have gender equity in their crossing lights....
Boy-lights
Girl-lights
Nice, eh?

Cute. In Odense we have traffic lights featuring Hans Christian Andersen- the local hero.
Excellent! That sounds very cool! Got pics?
