All posts or video-logs are not created equal in my eyes. Some posts make me chuckle when I watch them. This is one of them. I thought, “yeah, me too!” Briefly forgetting I was listening to myself. What name do you use? What name did you give your children?
Years ago when my mom finally decided to take my dad’s name (she has been trying to lose it for years, by the way) he said in reference to her maiden name, “it’s just another man’s name.” True, back then she couldn’t even get a credit card without her husband, which is so weird to think about. It does put ’70′s strident feminism in context. So, I get why people choose to keep their name or not, but gosh…how do you decide?
