Ms. I have no issues with. To me, it's a matter of consistency - there is one title for a man (outside of Dr. or something of that sort), but several for women. Some women like Ms. and some don't. It does strike me as odd, though, that a title in this day and age is based on marital status for one gender and not the other. For simplicity's sake and consistency's sake, I address women with whom I am not familiar as Ms. If they'd rather be called Mrs. or Miss, that's fine, they can say so.
