I Asked Women 'Would You Call Your Husband Sir?' Their Answers Were Telling

A few months ago, I posted a thread on Instagram asking women, “Would you call your husband ‘sir’?”

As you can imagine, it caused a bit of a stir.

In the caption, I explained that a lot of modern women (as subsequently evidenced by the comments) would find this suggestion appalling, and that the word “sir” originated from “lord” and is also a term of polite respect we use for strangers all the time (at least here in the South).
