[N. Theknow]

One co-worker and his wife always had a difficult time when they had to attend functions as she kept her maiden name when they married. It was always a lengthy period of time to check into a hotel with two different names, which she insisted upon doing.

Mrs. Theknow and I were behind them in the line to check in once and she heard me mutter at how stupid it was.

She angrily confronted me and said it was her "choice" to keep her maiden name and not submit to a "flawed patriarchal system."

My reply:

"So, in protest you did not take the name of the "MAN" on your marriage license but kept the name of the "MAN" on your birth certificate."

They did not wish to sit next to us at meals.

I had a chance to "Zing" her again about a year later when I was looking at a bumper sticker on her car that read: "Men of quality are not threatened by women seeking equality."

She confronted me and said, "So, Mr. Chauvinist, what do you think of that?"

My reply:

"Actually from my experience, I have noticed that women of quality don't have to seek equality."

My cousin is a feminazi who was telling me of why a women should keep her maiden name. I told her she was actually keeping her Dads name and if she decided to change to her moms name, it would really be Grandpa's name. That shut her up and her face got red. Before she could conjure up a response I told her to just make a new name up.
