I wish Anne Browne from Newport US had 1/5 of your understanding.

Damn, Koku, quit being such a crankypants. You were born into an autocracy. You witnessed your people overthrow the ruler of the world’s largest empire and begin a well-intentioned—if misguided—experiment in communism. You survived two world wars and the bleak times of the Cold War, saw the end of the Soviet Union and…

I am going to guess from a bear, that she fights daily to milk for her fermented bear milk.

It’s really such a dick move to keep someone’s dead dad’s guitar, I honestly can’t believe it.

Y’all wild. Judging women for doing whatever the fuck they decide to do. Nice.

Give the children the mother’s name always. Smash the patriarchy.

My fourth grade teacher was Ms. Nordsletten-Soderstrom. Fucking fantastic name.

My dad changed his name when he got married. Are you calling my dad a pussy?

I feel the same way. It’s like the woman and the kids have to have the husband’s ownership stamp on them...otherwise the ol’ boy just won’t feel obligated to stick around. I kept “my” name, though it in fact belongs to a line of men going back to the invention of surnames. I wish instead that I had the last name of my…

I literally just had this conversation last night with my sister. We both got married in our early twenties the same summer a few years back. I changed my name to my husbands for really the only reason of “tradition” and “what about the kids”. Our names were very similar so it doesn’t affect how people pronounce my…

Just saying. “How will my hypothetical kids name their hypothetical kids in 30 years?” is a pretty sad argument to keep propagating patriarchal nonsense.

If your hyphenated kid marries another hyphenated person (unlikely, given relative percentages), they’ll presumably be old enough to make decisions about their own names, ya know?

A good friend of mine married a sexist who, whenever we are at the same party and he’s been drinking, derides me about keeping my last name and INSISTS that he will call me Mrs. Husbandsname. It is extremely frustrating and also so fucking bizarre that someone is SO invested in what their wife’s friend’s fucking name…

My immigrant housekeeper has worked with us for 20 years and has never yet killed us, so.

Concern over my family embarrassing me is the only reason I never married into royalty.

Something really wrong with him making a profit off other’s pain.

I love it. It’s like Kate and Wills showing up 7 hours after the birth with the baby to say, “Here’s your photo op, paps!” The Daily Mail and other paps have been stalking this guy since the engagement was even a rumor, usually painting him in an unflattering way - hermit loser, rather than average American retiree in…

Dear Taylor and Kanye,

Jesus, he looks old. That must mean...*looks in the mirror*...I’ve gotten old too...
