Last Names and Marriage

Oh good, the data has been updated finally!

That's encouraging to see.

But discouraging that men and women- across the board- are still not making equal amounts.

That must mean you're going to fight to support the Equal Pay Act, yes?

Good deflection oh whoa is me little rich girl. I think I'll focus on equal employment. Like I said you're fighting to get more money for hand bags I'm thinking about dudes who CAN'T find any work at all and end up turning to a life of crime as a result of that.

That sounds like the typical 'If I can't have her, no one can.' Especially since you're jealous enough to be posting about it in other threads that I haven't posted in.

I would almost feel sorry for you, if you weren't such a crusty old codger about it.

OMG, really?

You're sounding like Lippy now. Deluded.

Imaginary BF to make a point. A message board classic. Why not talk about him in the "What's Going On With You" thread? No, just in this one where you're losing the argument.

So....because I didn't announce it in the thread you think I should have, it's BS? LOL. Talk about deluded. I also wasn't losing...it's not a discussion that can be lost because everyone is different. I was trying to demonstrate that there are men out there who aren't as ridiculous as some of you are being, refusing to accept that there's more than one way to look at marriage and names. But, whatever.

"Little rich girl", really? I work for everything I have, and save for it. And I'm working for HANDBAGS?! Talk about a sexist thing to say. I have a mortgage, car, taxes, and bills to pay. You have a lot of nerve trying to invalidate the fact that equal pay for equal work matters, especially when it applies to you. I'm sure your mother would love to make the same as a male nurse so she could have had more money to provide for you growing up. I'm sure your aunts and female cousins would, too....especially if they're providing for their families when someone is unemployed...oh, but they're probably working for handbags too, right?

That was one of the most offensive and disgusting things you've ever said to me, Andrae.

Let me break this down for you. Complaining you don't get enough water to those who are dying of thirst is plain rude but again thanks for deflecting and playing poor little victim. I'm seriously wondering about you. I didn't forget about that hut comment you made to Appiah yesterday. A little suspect.

Again way to focus on the insignificant lol.

will there ever be a waking moment for you that you don't obsess about me...i thought you had moved on to pick on jenny, DB and pixie as well as a host of other posters that don't kiss your ass...

i didn't realize that we all had to catalog or lives here...my handsome man is not imaginary and not necessarily a bf yet...he is significant...i think you are just jealous because you don't know who it is...please i am begging you to just leave me alone...don't follow me around the forum...don't quote me and don't make reference to me...you are making a fool out of yourself...

Again, I think this is a personal thing on choosing to take someones name but a couple who were friends of mine exemplify this thought. They never combined anything. They lived as if they were two single people just coincidentally in the same house. They lived as if they were going to breakup instead of two people who wanted to be/stay together. It was no surprise whatsoever that they didn't make it. In their mind I think they contributed to their own demise. If you don't love, believe or have faith why get together at all??
 
LMAOOO this is very funny, any way who said because you marry a traditional man and she has your kids she is entitled to half your property and other stuff . Some women just think having a man's kids is an honour to the man smh . If he didnt have strong sperms to fertilize the egg YOU would not have the kid so he put in much work just as you show popping out babies is no favour to a man p-lease.:cool:
 
Whomever I wind up marrying, she can keep the last name. I'm not one to force someone to accept my last name. The idea of patriarchal marriage has been loosening for quite some time since marriage, thus far, has become more of a marketing tool for property rights.

However, when it comes to children, I'd prefer a compromise on hyphenating the last names together. At least that much since it's recognizing who's children they belong to.

I invite you to pass a bowling ball out of your arse, and then tell us it's as much fun as an orgasm.

:rolleyes:
 
Recognizing the other person without having to go through the legal process of adopting the other person's surname is a personal (and sensible) choice. How is not reinforcing some traditional standard based on property rights a "soft" position? I'm more of man than you think. I'd rather be objective and not stuck on some idea because "it's tradition."

Depends what his last name is ;)

Same here, Whiks. :p

The way my name is, is ideal. It sounds awesome just saying it, and think about it. Mike (first) is a name of a guy and Sandy (last) is the name of a girl. I think the design of my name is brilliant.

If you marry a woman named Sandy, my guess is she will probably want to keep her own name.

My mother is old fashioned. She's been married once before my dad, then my dad, and many years after his death she married again. She changed her last name all three times.

What was funny as hell is that her husband's last name now, combined with the form of her name she'd used for 40+ years made her sound like a shortstop - think something like "Willie Wood"...so she changed her *first* name to a different version....and corrected people who didnt use the right NEW first name. Thank gods I could keep it simple and call her Mother.
