IF words matter querry me this

A man is called mister whether married or not.
A woman is called miss is unmarried misses is she is married and ms (pronounce it?) if she choses not to reveal her martial status.

a man who runs a prostitution ring is called a pimp.
a woman who rus a prostitution ring is called a madam.

when a man become president he is called mister president.
when a woman becomes president she is called madam (though she was NEVER madam before) president.

my question is why is not male presidents called pimp president?

or female presidents called miss, mrs., or ms. president?

2. I think EVERYONE should refuse to call her 'madam' and instead Ms. President

THAT would be respect!
