But then I read on and see comments like, well, when we had a kid, we gave him/her my last name, or we hope this doesn't confuse people.
There is a (wanted to insert explicative) reason to take the last name. It is NOT sexist. One: just look at the complications that can occure that I mentioned above. So who decides whose name goes to what kid, does it cause fights. What about legal issues? Second: What happens when Angela Gorman-Turkin gets married to Thomas Jones-Feely and they have kids who are now Gorman-Turkin-Jones-Feely and they grow up and get married to a hyphenated person? Where the fuck does it stop. There was/is a reason to take the last name of the man. Although some of you do not believe in the word of God, God also had his reasons.
I am tired of hearing that it is sexist. It makes me mad that our society is trying to become gender neutral, turning us into a androgonous being. Males and females are different and we should stay that way. How does that relate to this thread. Well, the more we as males and females try to be equal in EVERY WAY, the more we become the same. The next thing you know is that men will claim sexism that only women can have babies.
