Pathethic women

[Display]

What happened to the glory days of happy wedlock and the excitement of adopting the male spouse's name? More and more when I hop on a social networking site I see names of girls/women I know with the slight modification of their spouse's adopted name. Yes, I'm talking about the cunts who use hyphens to advocate what I can only imagine is the last modicum of a woman's empowerment. I'm not arguing that women are somehow at a lesser degree of importance to men but when did it become taboo to lose your last name? I am in full knowledge that traditional marriages are becoming distinct, especially since most families are now two working parent units. Historically a man would support the woman and while this is becoming a decreasing trend I don't know what happened to the time where it was an honor to take the last name of your husband. Besides, eliminating your middle name and replacing it with your middle name just sounds square. It doesn't flow smoothly. In China I'm sure this shit wouldn't float but what about the sense of dedication lacking in this scenario? Are you so unsure of your marital status as a long lasting, devoted couple, that you can't completely abandon your previous name? Are you ashamed of your husband's last name? I'll leave it open for debate but whenever I see something so heinous as Von Bueren-Smith or Giuseppi-Clark I want to throw bricks. Hell, I'd even go further to abandon tradition and say that it would be better if you just kept your maiden name. Sure, it might be a bash to the male's ego but for crying out loud, this hyphen shit is mother fucking snakes on a plane man!

I am just curious

First time ive agreed with something youve said. Bitches drop your maiden name and take the husbands name. thats all.

[Display]

this is why i slap hoes..you feel me

[H.M.S. Stargazer]

Actually I agree with display. This might be the only time this has or will ever happen.

This was one of the biggest fighting blocks with me and my ex-fiance. She refused to take my last name. And she refused to have us have seperate names. And i sure as hell wasnt taking hers. And yeah...

We still have a patriarchal society, and traditions should have women take the guys name.

If you break off a wedding over something that stupid, it would have probably ended in a divorce anyway.

Oh there was more issues, but this was one that started the fall. We are still really good friends though.

That's stupid to divorce over? I would kick that bitch out the house like Jazzy Jeff

[Mantra-Slider]

Im gonna take my girls name

[Salubrious]

How do gay couples decide whose name to take?

[the_paul]

i wouldn't say it's "pathetic" of a woman to want to keep her maiden surname. just an against-the-grain way of doing things, that's all.

i have no preference really. as long as you don't go with that awful hyphenated shit, i'm cool.

[PH]

he didn't say pathetic

he said pathethic

and you fucks claim to have read his post

women must be retarded and not realize that their mom didn't keep her maiden name, so why the fuck would she... keeping her fathers name alive is for a male to do, not her, and considering the male she is marrying is keeping his own father's name alive, fuck that bitch



the ONLY time I can see having a girl hyphenate the two names is if she is gonna be with a dude that has a fucked up name combined with hers

like Sharon Dicks or Debby Downer etc
