Ms. or Miss

For women who I do not know of their marital state I use "Miss" even at the risk of being misunderstood as, at the least, a hopeless antiquated romantic; or worse, an unsympathetic chauvenist. I never use "Ms." which if I was a woman would offend me---to me I would feel it would allign me to Gloria Steinhem's demand for an androgynous sociology. I find this antithetical to God's design, and contrary to most of mankind's history which had this differentition as a way of protecting married women from adulterous advances.
