Oh my god that is the cutest.

Ha!

Ha!

I've chronic asthma so I'm fucked.

Yeah it has really turned me off him.

Which had clear implication on the characters.

Disney Pixar's male protagonist films: Toy Story, Monster's Inc, A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo, Cars.

Such a great movie and truly scary to me as a child, okay and as an adult.

Ha!

I've spent the morning replying to the throng of inane comments, it was very satisfying. Maybe I need a hobby!

This is such a redundant point I am actively embarrassed for anyone who makes it. Keeping your name BREAKS the patriarchal cycle. Never mind the fact that you are born with that name, it is your prime identifier, not your father's. Stop making excuses for submitting to patriarchal norms and perpetrating the notion…

That's the best reason of all, don't give in.

You may be a feminist but you willfully submitted to your husband when you took his name. Gender social construction sure is a powerful force, so powerful that women actively think that giving up their name is an actual choice. Tis sad to see.

Because your name is YOUR identifer not our father's.

You're rather myopic in your view considering the fact that if you keep your name you can break the cycle and ensure that your daughter does not receive a patrilineage name. It's VERY simple.

Logistics is a really lame excuse. As someone who went through it you just hyphenate. In fact it's such the norm in the UK that it is just not an issue. In fact it's become a designate of class as so many middle-class women keep their names which means historically that many people in power have hyphenates. The US is…

That is a really important point. I remember a NYT's article about women marrying later in life who took their husband's name as a mark of finally having made it. Their awesome careers and success up to that point of course accounting for nothing.

Great point.

God, you're insufferable.
