I would, too.

Well, ideally states and cities wouldn't have to rely on the benevolence of taxed citizens to do their fucking jobs, you know? Do they have public campaigns to build new roads or fix potholes? Justice for rape victims should be a priority as well.
No, it's not. Carrying on your family surname, as if you are the property of your parents, is no more and no less than taking on the name of your spouse. She can do whatever she wants, and it's beyond idiotic for complete strangers to care. Plenty of people hyphenate, or keep their family names, and I've known a small…
I understand feeling passionately about it if it's your own name, or of this is a practice that is forced on married women. I don't understand why anyone would care about the decision of an incredibly intelligent and successful woman who obviously didn't derp her way into this decision.
Ughhhhh. You remind me of my mom, who taught ballet for years. She took me to a performance of Giselle that had the audience in fucking tears it was so beautiful and she was all "she's got bad feet, heavy feet." Perfectionists gross me out and really tend to miss out on a lot of life.
I assure you that these sweater puppies have brought nothing but joy to this world.
see above.
Dumb comment is dumb.
Lighten up, Francis. It was a joke.
Umm yeah? Why the fuck would I care what name he chooses for himself? Why do you? If people are truly bothered by that, I respectfully suggest they are too stupid to live.
I understand what you're saying and I didn't change my name either, but she made a personal choice. Why would it be jarring to you? That's such a strange statement. Maybe she hates her last name. Maybe her father was a monster.
different expectations for different people: exactly.
If you're using a sport analogy, please note that a failure rate of 60% would make you one of the best baseball hitters of all time. And if you're gonna name-check Brady, his best pass completion rate was like 72% one year and he is one of the all-time best QBs. She's not saying she sang it perfectly, she's saying…
Well, it wasn't "her" name, it was her father's name. If anything, choosing a name change is much more "her own" than keeping a name that was given to her.
You're about to experience so much disappointment in your life.
After spending a four-hour flight next to a Coca-Cola executive trying to brush up against my boobs every time he moved, I'm ok with this.
That's fair. Of course it's perfectly reasonable advice, and I think it's advice that so many women have internalized to the point that we don't even think about it anymore. What upsets me is that Uber could have come up with a "here's everything we're doing to keep users safe" instead of putting it on us. It was more…
To explain it a different way, imagine for example that there people wearing hats would potentially punch you really hard and debilitatingly in the nuts. In your lifetime, you may have a 1 in 4 chance of being thus punched in the nuts. At first, you'd probably try to avoid peope wearing hats, but soon enough you'd…
My bestest girlfriend is a Rules girl. Remember those insane books? She's smart, successful, attractive, not too crazy and she's almost perpetually single because she goes full Stepford when she's dating. I've never asked if she's drawn a bath for a dude but I wouldn't be surprised.
