one is a marriage, the other is simply a financial contract...I would not have married a woman who would not take my last name.
one is a marriage, the other is simply a financial contract...This was a big issue for women’s lib back in the day.
Hillary made waves in Arkansas in the ‘70s because she didn’t become Hillary Clinton when she married Bill.
They don’t want to take their husbands name because that implies the woman is property.
So she keeps her dads name.
By who?
Im calling BS..
Progressive women are upset with Amal Clooney for doing what she wants.
One must have one's priorities straight.
Women who use two last names are pains in the ass. They are special. They are high maintenance princesses. I don’t care which name they use, I just wish they would make up their minds (if they can) and settle on one name. Oh, and they can open their own damn door by themselves.
I do find it interesting, how much consternation this topic causes.
I teach in an inner city high school. The girls put their last names on thier babies’ birth certificates. This way, baby mama gets all the Big Gov bennies and her baby daddy can throw some cash her way when he feels like it. The outcome? We are one generation away from inbreeding. Seriously. I had two sisters that, by their senior years, each had two sons. The father of both of the sisters’ first baby is the same guy. The father of both of the sisters’ second baby was the first father’s brother. Figure that out. One baby daddy is dead. I think the first.
I’ve already told my boys to be careful of women with hyphenated names or those with names different than their hubbies if they are ‘married’.
The subject of both the wife’s last name AND the possibility of our children having hyphenated names was raised many years ago. This was my successful argument against it:
When it comes to the bonding that occurs within families, women have a supreme biological advantage over men. Women carry the developing child in their bodies. They bring forth their child into the world, nurse the child while holding it close their bodies, and through these biological and other sociological advantages develop an strong emotional bond with the father, but also with the man that only they know to be the father.
The husband and father, on the other hand, only knows that he has contributed his seed, which he believes to be that which resulted in fertilization, after which everything for the next nine months is completely out of his control. Only his wife knows for sure whether she was faithful, and whether that her husband is the only possible father of his child.
Clearly, when it comes not only to bonding, but also to certainty of parenthood (which also relates to bonding), the woman clearly has many advantages.
Then what advantage to I, as a male, have when it comes to this? The one and only advantage that has been bestowed upon me is the tradition of a shared family name. When my wife and my child share my name, that shows a level of commitment that helps enable me to experience something close to the same level of bonding and confidence that comes very easily to a woman, with all the advantages she has.
So please, please, don’t take away the one thing that i have! Sometimes, there are good reasons for our traditions, and in this case, I know that there is a good reason for my wife and child to take my family name - as it will give me some level of near equality with regard to all of these emotional dynamics that relate to the bonding that occurs within families. It will make me a better husband and a better father.
Don’t need to take their paychecks either...
Beware the woman with a hyphenated surname.
Fellows, don’t marry women like this.
You are asking for heartaches or headaches.
My first wife hyphenated her name after marriage. She was unfaithful, deceitful, and embezzled a lot of money before she left after ten years of marriage. My late second wife took my name happily and was a great woman. I don’t trust women with hyphenated names.
Not a problem, don’t need to marry them either.
His name was Fink and he always hated it, so when he had the opportunity to change it to his wife's last name, he did.
Lol...as if I’d bother at that point.
