In a world where there are already very few incentives for men to get legally shackled, this is one slippery slope I wouldn’t want to slide down.” - Ricky, 27I’M SORRY BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO FEMALE CHILDREN AND WOMEN AROUND THIS WORLD??? OH YES, JUST THAT.I feel like I need to trigger warn this as “infuriating male opinions”Actual equality is perceived as inequality by most men. And by a lot of us women, because that’s what society has taught us. I actually grew up in a place where woman keep their surnames after marrying, so when I learned that women here are suposed to change it, I felt bewildered… Your name is a part of your identity… How could it affect U.S. men and women to be raised from birth, ones knowing that their surname will someday change to another they don’t know yet based on the man they marry, and the others, knowing that they will be called the same all their lifes and that their future wifes who they still don’t know will assume their surnames? I’m sure it has to condition them somehow. It can’t be good growing up knowing that your name, your symbollyc identity, is temporary and will be changed by a man. it has to have an impact(and that ELijah boy is gr8t. “Listen, I’m a feminist.” Isn’t he precious? *sarcasm*)this makes me want to throw thingsWeirdly, one of the things cultural anthropology courses enjoyed drilling into our heads is that there’s never been any recorded matriarchy, ever. (I think the definition of ‘matriarchy,’ though, was a copy-paste patriarchy, just with women. I think one could argue for matriarchal societies of a different shape, but I don’t know global human cultural history well enough.)‘matriarchal goddess culture’ bahThe “biological impulse” guy creeped me the fuck out, though. Truly, he went above and beyond his duty as a gross misogynist on that one. -- source link
