What a great reaction
Damnit, save some puns for the rest of us.
I wanted to make a chemistry pun but all the good ones argon
My wife & I never even discussed whether she should or would change her name. She’s not my property.
I get what you’re saying but having a single last name is convenient (doesn’t necessarily have to be the dude’s name). Especially if you plan to have kids.
If your kids have two last names, and they marry someone with two last names it could theoretically be a compounding problem. You gotta draw the line somewhere
it doesn’t have to be about property, it can be about showing off that your officially one family now. And i think that’s a valid reason for changing your last name (aka family name)
You can always opt to take on a double name, you can both take on your wife’s name if you prefer that, or whatever. But just because a woman chooses to take her husband’s name, doesn’t mean that she’s now his property. Your children also aren’t your property just because they have your last name
Edit: And before someone brings up the fact that the historic reason is property: Things can change and people like to stick to certain traditions regardless of the history that the tradition carries.
Just because your last name is Smith doesn’t mean that you need to become a blacksmith, even though that’s where the name originates from
changing names when getting married isn’t the same as one partner changing their name to the other’s, who doesn’t change theirs…
Wow, congratulations, your little observation saved the world! There’s no more sexism, racism, nor any sort of abuse thanks to you! Well done.
Good the fuck for you?
