“Anyone who has spent any time searching ‘genealogy’ immediately hits walls for women ancestors. This notion that women are chattel for a man is primeval.”
Sounds like you are an FR Feminista! I have a great idea. If women think they are so smart and independent then do it like most animals do - don’t get married, have children out of wedlock and raise them alone by yourself. Ain’t nature great?
Then you can give them your family name and teach them to hate men, too!
IT has NOTHING to do with NOT getting married. Think what you want. AND I never said that I was against the 'taking' of the man's name. However, it sure would be helpful IF the woman's name were recorded for the sake of locating them in the record books.... geeeeeeeze I am the '.....nista?
Once again it’s Friday night, the weekend is approaching and some men on FR don’t have dates for Saturday night.Next best thing is to get on FR and insult women.
Why not let people decide what they call themselves? Why do you care? Does it impact you in any way? LOL
