Monica Brant Putnim, Hillary Rohdam Clinton, Kelly Ryan Titus
Freakin lame. Interested to think what Getbiggers think about this.
If my wife wanted to keep her last name, I probably would not have married her.
There are some deep problems there. Like lack of confidence you're marriage will work?
Embarassment of you're husbands last name?
-
Yeah I hate that shit. Before I forced my wife to marry me I made it very clear that this woman's lib type mentality will only get her liberated to a hospital.
So far everything is good.
-
gayer than the institution of marriage
-
I keep mine chained in the kitchen....just in case she forgets where she belongs.
-
actually it is even worse than that! more and more men are taking their wife's last name
also you are seeing more and more "combined" bachelor and bachelorrete parties :(

A lot of it has to do with a woman who has established a career under her original name prior to marriage. Since the original name has value and recognition, she wants to hold onto it. In most cases it's a practical decision, not a political one.
Now, if your wife-to-be works as a store clerk or a waitress and insists on keeping her name, then yeah, I'd say there's an issue.

What if she's an only child? Does she get a pass then?

My Grandma had 3 daughters one which kept her last name when she was married. Grandma didn't approve. When I got married Grandma asked if I was going to take my hub's name. I said yes. She said "Good, because if you didn't he'd be right to tell you to shove it!"
lol

Well............
I have some thoughts on this. For one....a woman splitting the last name of her husband or adding a hyphen to the husbands name is a nit wit IMO.
But, I find it totally acceptable if she makes her maiden name into her new middle name. Reason why I say this is because for the last 2-3 months, I've been doing alot of genealogy research for my family. For one, I find it an old tradition thats been long forgotten or alot of people don't do it any longer. Also, it really makes it easy for researching ancestry on the wife's side of the family.

From what I know of women from the WWII era generation they almost seem superior to women of today. :o

So, how is Mrs. Chainsaw, then?

Monica Brant married Peter Putnam? :o

Usually this only happens when the woman have children with a previous husband and keep their old last name for the kids and adopte another last name of their new husband,

I never thought of that, but that makes sense as well as for career reasons. Really, as long as there's a practical, common-sense reason behind it, I see no problem with it. But if it's just to make some stupid feminist political statement, then it's total bullshit and shouldn't be.

couldn't agree more!

Yeah, career reasons are the #1 reason. Some actresses don't even add their husband last name of their stage names. But, that would be funny. ;D
-
The women's libers that do it are pathetic.
Watching this democratic party nomination process weigh out has been pretty funny. You can find out a lot about people sometimes. You can tell which black women are more proud of being women than black when you see people like Tanya Acker on Fox and CNN backing Hillary as a black woman. You can also tell which long-standing democrats are just flat out racist as many seem to be backing Hillary still only because she's...well...white.

"lames" ???

If I am addressing a woman whose name happens to be:
Sally Johnson-Baker...
I say, "Hello, Ms. Baker..."
I will not say:
"Hello, Ms. Johnson-Baker..."
It just sounds stupid.

Then she will say:

Surprisingly...when I resist saying the whole hypenated deal...not one woman has ever corrected me.

how exactly does that work?

I think it pretty much ends up being a group sex thing.

basically it is some feminist chick telling her than man she doesn't approve of him and his boys going to a strip club..and that they will have a party together at a wine tasting soiree

lack of confidence?, embarassment? I think its more b/c of the society that we live in promotes a strong independent female these days, not the first two but you never know but it does sound a little like insecurity to me. Why does it bother you that they dont?

Agreed...listen...if it has more syllables than: "Arnold Schwarzenneger" (six syllables)...then, I simply ain't sayin' it! :)

If they're doing it because they don't want to take your last name, I'd say there's a problem.
However, there are legitimate legal reasons and name recognition resons.
For example, nobody knows Monica Brant ans Monica Peckham or Angelina Jolie as Angelina Pitt. So they keep their name for their fan base, etc.
They hyphenate it so they can legally use both names (Banking, Financial reasons, etc.). for example, they can go by Angelina Jolie for the movies and Angelina Pitt for adoption papers.

No insecurity on my part.
I treat women with respect no matter what they are called or known by. I think it is insecurity on their part to have to finagle with tradition.
Tradition gets further decimated in our society...soon noone will ever recall what their roles are/were.
Moral corrosion is a bigger problem than energy, economy or terrorists.

now that you mention it i could see how it might be insecurity on their part as well, however i would have to disagree on the moral corrosion how is a women wanting to keep her last name moral corrosion? "what their roles are" plz inform me of what men and womens roles are?
-

Only they both could still do their HC porn or whatever as Brant and Jolie. What does it matter to us what name stands in their credit card bill?

There is not a direct correlation of tradition and moral corrosion. They do seem to often go hand in hand...i.e. radical changes occurring

i can see how they might coincide but that doesnt mean one is related to the other, cultural changes could lead to moral changes but that doesnt mean its getting worse just different than what you know now. Im not trying to start an arguement im interested in why it bothers you in the first place? b/c it goes against tradition? i think you would be hard pressed to state that a women not taking the name of her husband has caused any moral decline in any society

Because if she really loved you or was really committed to you she would be happy to take your name and represent it well. JESUS MAN! haha

The best thing is that you don't even have to buy her a watch, since there is a clock on the stove.

lol she could say the same thing brother, the if you really loved me is the lamest line i think ive ever heard :D
-
I'd let her keep her other name, as long as she agreed to anal at will. ;) Seems fair enough.
-
Then she will say:
mrs. baker to you!!!!! ;D
luv your sig mate
lol

nothing wrong with a woman that knows where she came from, before she met her husband. marrying a guy isnt the start of their life, champ.
i think u may have a lil dominance issue. rather than seeing ur wife as an object of love, u see her as a person to dominate and show ur power over, which she succumbs to - by taking ur last name. to say that ud not of married her if she hadnt shows that true love is nonexistant in ur relationship. names are only used so we can remember things faster than describing them, not as the 'clincher' as to whether u will spend the rest of ur life together.
im sure women being dominated by casual sex partners, but it can get very tiresome to deal with a husband 24/7 that has a dominance problem. often men dont know it until the woman files for divorce or they find her sleeping on the side.

Nice try at an ownage, but everyother post seems to be on my side. As far as dominace, you're the one that seems to have a problem with dominace. Asking a woman to adhere to tradition is far from any kind of domination.
-
Hyphenated names reek of hoity-doity pretentiousness, no excuses for em... "I'm important, thus you must expend the effort to remember and regurgitate those additional syllables". ::) Make a choice, take one name and deal wid it.
I'd let her keep her other name, as long as she agreed to anal at will. ;) .
Fair exchange.

I found it interesting that while Slick Willy was running for President, Hillary was known as Hillary Clinton. Once Bill was elected she changed it back to Hillary Rodham Clinton. She did the same thing when Bill ran for Gov.

agreed but at the same time there is nothing wrong with a women not taking a mans last name either if thats what shw wants

The question is, why does she want to kep her original name? If it's for a legitimate practical reason, fine, no problem. If it's just to make some kind of bullshit feminist statement, that's not the kid of girl I'd marry. If she gets a chip on her shoulder over the whole name thing, just imagine what she'd be like with more important things.

thats fine and whatever sets your sail is good for you and I can see where your coming from, I dont really see how her not takeing your last name correlates with her actions on any other important things? It seems that you have a chip on your shoulder about the name thing, so are you going to act different. Heres my question why does it bother you so much that she wants to keep her name or hyphenate her name? She already changes her name from miss to mrs. to indicate marraige, so is it out of tradition or b/c you want the public to know that she is married to you?

Simple... I don't find radical feminists the least bit appealing. If you do, hey whatever floats your boat.

lol you avoided the question all together, Im not saying how you feel is wrong, just trying to understand why you feel that way and I dont buy this reason i think its a cop out. Your metaphorically covering your ears and stomping your feet. If you feel this way then you must be ok with the the atrocities and degradation done to women in islamic cultures after all its their tradition and women not wanting to cover their faces and other offenses against society are seen as radical feminist to them as well

wasnt trying to own you. i guess thats part of the reason i dislike the concept of marriage. it's so business-like. if i find someone that i truly love, i dont need a marriage certificate or a ring on my finger to know that i want to spend the forseeable future with them.
