Next feminists are going to complain that it's not fair to have the husbands last name, amirite?

Interesting fact:Women have a choice in that matter.

yes i kinda realized that but for the most part its traditional to take the husbands name

But there's no need for a couple to continue a tradition if it's not what both of them want. Couples can decide for themselves if they want to hypenate, keep their own last names, take the males last name, or take the females last name.

I know, just because it's traditional to take your husbands name doesn't mean he's more important.

Great, and just because women don't want their husband's last name, doesn't mean they're being picky about it.

Feminists have been complaining about that since the 1800s. You don't understand feminism do you?

Me and my sisters made a pact, we're not taking our husbands name. We're keeping our own. We are not feminists though.

You know, being a feminist means wanting equal rights for men and women. Are you seriously against that?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well, no. But in the sense that the post it talking about, yeah.

Geezus. You don't have to be a feminist to believe that.

Eh, been there, done that.

Feminists don't want to be better than anyone, they simply want equal social and economical rights in society. I used to think that it was a bunch off bullshit until I took a class on women's studies. College is a wonderful thing, use it.

My neighbor actually didn't take her husband's last name. It's a choice.

One of my friends lives in Chile and they always keep their last name and add on their spouses. She found it odd that we give up our last name.

If you keep your last name and add your spouses and your child does that too and so does your grandchild they'll eventually end up with a ridiculously long name.

No...when you get married you keep one of your last names, not both.(most often times the fathers last name, but you pick which one. )

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Oh okay. That makes more sense. I like that tradition.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah I thought it was kinda cool. I'm moving to Chile(maybe) in a few years and That's what I want to do if I get married

My mum kept her last name, and I'm probably going to do the same. It doesn't really have anything to do with the fact I'm a feminist, I just think it's a silly tradition.
