@XenniallTeach @AtotheJayne @Isabelletkrause You were born with your fathers name. Why not your mothers? Bc this is the way of things. One family. One name. But again…you wouldn’t understand.

I actually think it’s such a slap in the face when you don’t take your man’s last name. It’s not just his last name, it is YOURS now too. You are united, you are one, you are building your future together. Not only is it a sign of commitment, loyalty, & respect, but it's also symbolic of your father's duties coming to an end and the job of providing & protecting being passed on to your husband.

90% of the women I know who want to "keep their name for professional reasons" are working like, normal email jobs I promise people will not be shocked and confused if your LinkedIn changes one day!

This is a hugely underrated benefit of women remaining at home that we need to talk about more. Community. When all the women were home raising families together, we had tightened communities. Higher trust. A sense of belonging. Now we are individuals who belong to corporations.

A family from church has a boy in the hospital, my wife made them dinner to ease their suffering. I like being married to a woman who does stuff like this instead of typing numbers into a spreadsheet at a job she hates. Happy to work a little harder to make it happen.

@choculatopguy @KristyT My husbands name is also his dad's name. Why do I want his dads name over mine?
English
@KristyT It's not your name. It's your father's name.
English
The thing about this is you really don't even need a reason beyond that fact that it is already your name and you want to keep it.

@ElizabethGMat @merrydevo Rather that than someone who mindlessly adheres to social conventions

I don’t believe she’s a bad wife per se. I believe she’s a shallow, ideological dimwit, who would allow this kind of pathetic, hollow “self-expression” to militate at least aesthetically against her oneness with her spouse and family. There are, ofc, exceptions! (People who’ve begun careers where names are important and are being purely practical/will go socially by the married name of anyone says it but don’t make a fuss either way).
English
This position that I’ve seen a few times is the most annoying one bc it pretends to be nonchalant about gender. If you believe that they should have the same name and that a woman is a bad wife if she won’t change hers, you believe in patriarchy. A lot of ppl do! Own that

When you get married, if it’s a marriage that means more to both of you than a legal merger, there’s no “his” and “mine” anymore. I would tell my sons not to marry any woman to who wasn’t eager to take his name. NOT because I care in theory whether they take his or hers. But because in practice it’s a sign that she has a view of marriage that’s something other than the kind of oneness on a single team that you should have with a spouse.

Being from London means remembering when New Cross was basically a depopulated wasteland that was just heroin addicts and squat raves, deptford was the same, OLD STREET WAS THE SAME 😭

“NEW CROSS IS HELL ON EARTH” This London commuter describes the decline she’s witnessing and says New Cross station is pure filth. Our capital is being destroyed. If you know, you know.

I’m not talking about women who keep their last names after marriage for practical/professional reasons or who are from countries where that’s the norm. There are plenty of reasons to keep your name in various contexts that are just prudent. I’m talking about women who follow the @JillFilipovic reasoning, for whom this is some kind of facile, infantile, incoherent “but we’re still two individuals/l’m not property/down with patriarchy” self-expression. Marriage has no room for that nonsense. It’s is not him vs. her. It’s him & her vs. the rest of the world.

@CoachMCruz @XenniallTeach @Isabelletkrause Her husbands name is also his father's name, what's your point

@tim_nich Fuck off with this Chicken Soup for the Soul rape bullshit, just fuck off

The bitter, misogynistic men replying to and QTing this are such a perfect window into reactionary male psychology. They’ve made cowardice into a religion. The idea of not allowing your trauma to shrink your world into a cold, frightened nothing is simply inconceivable to them.

18 yrs ago, I was violently assaulted & raped while walking alone. Every year on the anniversary of that day, I go on a solo hike to remind myself that there is still beauty in this world & I can enjoy it. This yr, I pushed myself & did a few days of the Southwest Coast Path…

@90kg_benchpress @femaleuncle You also wouldn't be using the Internet if it wasnt for a woman sooo
English
@femaleuncle okay so keep your father's last name then. women and logical thinking is like oil and water.
the disgust you feel stems from the fact that you've been lied to for your whole life (by j**s): that women and men are the same thing. men are the only reason why you have ANYTHING
English
@90kg_benchpress @femaleuncle Men have their dads names as well, what's your point

@winniemli Hello I was r4ped at this location years ago...so today I'll just walk there again

@realpaulhansen @winniemli Stopping living life because of rape sounds lame no thank you x
English
@winniemli So you decided the best way to avoid another rape is to put yourself in the same situation once a year? Tell me, do you vote?

Did you catch Moya on @bbcwm just now, discussing her Dispatch article about teenage link ups? Here's her personal analysis of what she saw.

@Meter_Pannion @imbethmccoll Normal people dont book a table in a pub on a friday
English
@imbethmccoll You strike me as too much of a headcase/hot mess to even be able to grasp that someone might be sufficiently organised to book a table.
English
walking into a pub in the middle of hackney on a friday night to a sea of empty tables all reserved for 7pm. hugo, poppy, james & matilda it’s time to grow up!!!!!

@Mikey1732 You do benefit from those things, its good for the future workforce to be healthy and happy.

I gain nothing as a result of this government. I’m in my mid 40’s, I have no kids, so I don’t benefit from free breakfast clubs, or the removal of the two child benefit cap. I work and pay sky high taxes and get nothing back. Labour isn’t the government for me
English
I’ve always said for people ABLE to work/no young children or severe disability, life should be difficult, uncomfortable and embarrassing being on benefits long term.
If you have paid taxes for a minimum of 5 years, then lose your job, you should have one fairly comfortable year, then you are given a coloured card to buy food/bills/basic clothing or even a benefits uniform which changes colour every year to highlight how long you’ve been on benefits.
You should be refused access to places like pubs etc if you try to enter more than once a week - spending tax payers money on pints when you should be looking for a job??…. Crazy work… we are too soft.
Steve Loftus@LoftusSteve
Things should be out of reach for people on benefits. Not being able to afford things you want is the incentive to work, work harder, find better jobs or retrain.
