You mean between your father's and your husband's father's name?

I don't think the argument here is that she was somehow forced or felt pressured, or that this sends the signal that even the most accomplished woman needs a husband to be complete. Based on OP's initial post, I think the issue is that when a very accomplished woman does it, it works as a powerful reaffirmation of a…

I bet you'll get shit for this. But I wholeheartedly agree.

I'm already battling hostile looks and questions and I don't even have a date yet. It doesn't help that literally all my female friends and acquaintances who got married changed their names.

I agree his sex hasn't got anything to do with the grouping, but I do think it has a whiff of rolling two different issues into one "Indo-Pakistani children suffering" package - something you don't see with European or Northern American winners.

They also gave it to three different women from different African countries a few years ago. It's so Eurocentric (western-centric) that any issue and cause beyond our Euro-American realm, and all the people fighting for those causes, are seen as similar enough to group together. It's a blatant display of Eurocentrism…

Men know they can get away with leaving housework to women so they try. I fucking hate it. I hate that I have to constantly ask that the person I share living quarters with do his fair share. It should go without saying.

Yeah, I thought so too! In my experience wetness is a turn-on because you can see and feel how much you do it for your partner...

No! I'd admire his professionalism. I'd actually be freaked out if he got excited. That's why I'm not an actor, I guess. That, and not being dizzyingly gorgeous.

I thought it was a widely acknowledged fact that feminists do it better?

This sort of reaction happens because women are not seen as people, but as a resource. It's seen as undemocratic to impose requirements for access to a public resource. Men feel like they're being denied something they have a right to.

You think men are too good to have sex for money and security? Lol. Being a trophy is not about desire. You seem unable to imagine a situation where a man has to sacrifice genuine desire for financial security, as most women have had to do for the entirely of history. But in a society with better economic parity,…

Human anatomy should be studied in biology class. The same way they learn the ventricles of the heart, they can learn the parts of the vulva, vagina, penis and testicles.

I think it's sad that people think the words for genitalia are obscene. It just shows their attitude towards sex.

I think it's really fucked up that even when you try your best to teach your child body positivity (like not teaching him or her to be ashamed of his or her genitalia by calling it euphemisms and banning it as a topic of discussion), the surrounding world does its best to sabotage you. That's why communities are so…

The way I understood it, that's what was meant: indigenous people preserving their traditional methods of sustenance that has proven to be sustainable - and life-saving - for centuries.

Wikipedia says it aired on BBC. I personally pirated it off piratebay.se

Ugh, this was not supposed to post... Sorry.

If it's the most accessible, cheapest and most sustainable way for a given community to get sustenance, and if it's not an endangered species, then it's a net positive for them. Who's suffering here, exactly? It's no different from hunting other types of game.

She seems to be championing the use of a sustainable resource, which is what she literally says herself. And it's one native to her culture so it could be said that she's using her fame to improve the visibility and understanding of it.
