I will not do business with a women that hyphenates her last name (1 Viewer)

If she cannot commit to the man she loves more than anybody in the world, I do not trust her. She is too self centered and self involved. She will take advantage of you if she can.

I can't stand those women. If I am walking into a store and I know one is directly behind me I refuse to open the door for her. I just kinda glare at her as I mumble "Go fight a war." under my breath.

Newsflash!!!! You can't trust any of them. Hyphenated or not.

What if the woman simply keeps her last name? :oldunsure:

Yep.

My wife joked about keeping her last name, and I said with all seriousness, "I know you wouldn't disrespect and humiliate me like that", and we had a good laugh. Then I thought about it, and I really wasn't sure if I'd marry her if she insisted on keeping her name. One of her friends has a doctorate and apparently has some papers published, and kept her last name on that basis. I think even then it's wrong. It's not like she's Dr. Phil or something. People will learn to accept the name change. Whenever I see her husband, I pity him.

 
My brother's wife insisted on hyphenated names. She didn't want to change her last name totally because she's a high school teacher "and her students already know her as Ms. Maiden Name." So, she hyphenated it so they could still call her by her maiden name. She also said changing her name was too big of an issue with computer logins, etc, for work. She didn't want to go through that hassle.

So she made my brother hyphenate his name. So, he gets to deal with the questions of being a mid 40s male with a hyphenated name (much more common for the subsequent generation) and he changed his work email, logins, etc.

I hope the hyphenation thing catches on and lasts for several generations. I'd love to see people walking around with last names like Green-Ellis-Knowles-Carter-Rodham-Clinton-Cross-Pickles.

 
My wife had kids from her first marriage, so she hyphenated her married name with mine to keep her kids' last name.

Flame away.

Holy hell. Yeah, no sack at all. Just reading that story and not knowing him personally, I want to punch him in the face.

I was talking about this with someone a while back and she gave me the best idea ever - a real "if I had a time machine I'd do it" kind of idea. There are pros and cons to either person changing their name... and many people look at forcing one person to change his or her (his or her? Let's be honest, it's always her) name as an oppressive action. Why should the woman be forced to give up her identity and assume the identity of her husband? But you don't want to have a family with two different last names. Forcing the man to adopt the woman's identity is just as oppressive.

So pick a new name. The two people involved get together and decide on a completely new last name. You want to embark on a new life together? Awesome - make it a new life together. I wish I'd thought of that 12 years ago before we got married.

Pros before hos.

Every time I feel like I've said or done something that can be construed as misogynist, I just check in and read what the pros are saying. Then I remember I'm an enlightened 21st century guy.

:lmao:

I can still remember me when he called me to talk about this decision. He asked how wussy of him it was. I remember telling him "you're my brother, I'm not going to give you crap about it, but you're going to need to be prepared for the crap you'll get from other people."

 
My wife didn't change her last name. Her aunt sends cards addressed to:

Mr and Mrs (my first name) (my last name)

I feel very 1800s. And I get to laugh at my wife every time. Good times, Aunt.

 
Why do so many people have trouble with the singular vs plural of "woman"?

I mean, I totally understand that Mr Cross is an idiot, but I see this a lot and just don't get it.

 
Ephesians 5:22

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

If you're a hardline Christian, maybe. The rest of us mostly don't favor the oppression of women.

How would you solve this Issue? Neighbor keeps dogs off lease and they run around and do their business on other neighbors property.
