MRS Degree

I work as a cashier at a local retail store, and sometimes when it gets slow the customers tend to spend a little time chatting with me after they have paid for their merchandise. One gentleman asked me how old I was and if I was in school. I told him that I was a student at UW Oshkosh, and his immediate response was " Oh are you getting your MRS degree?" It took a couple of seconds for me to realize what he meant, and I was outraged!!! Since I was at work I couldn't tell him what I really thought of him, so I just told him no that I was not going for my MRS, and to have a nice day. He got the message and left mid conversation. 

How long will women need to go to college, get degrees, go on to get their masters, and then their PHD for men to realize that we do not just go to school to find a husband?! I believe that there are more women enrolled at UW Oshkosh than men, and more women will go on to graduate with a degree. I consider myself a very independent person, and I do not need a husband to support me. We are too young to be thinking about getting married. We need to live our lives and figure out who we really are!!
