I find Elaine's adamant hostility towards people who refer to her by her husband's name to be very interesting. Technically of course Miller is not her name, but to call her 'Mrs. Miller' hardly seems like the sort of thing that would provoke more than, at most, a simple, cheerful correction. Why does this perfectly harmless social convention make her so angry?

Do you really not grasp why this would piss somebody who is so dedicated to being an agressive feminist off?

This is perhaps the most legit of her many, many beefs.

i think you are right if people knew about her beliefs in advance. if you are a stranger meeting her for the first time she is being culturally intolerant (if she is rude about the whole thing that is). which to me seems to contradict a lot of her ideologies.
