It’s only the Feministas that associate patrilineal surnames with women and chattel.
Excuse me? I would not know what the Feministas associate. Chattel is what it is. To ignore the heritage of the woman is a disservice to the offspring.
Two people,, marrying, adopt one last name. Then they, and their children, are identified as one family. This feminist crap is just another way to drive a wedge,, and to encourage people not to see their marriage as a new, unique creation.
And it’s idiotic to claim that geneology becomes more difficult. If anything,, I find it’s easier to trace female ancestors. The women in the family seem to naturally know far more about them. They are listed as mothers on birth certificates,,etc. And the occasional name change that occurred back in those days was well known and documented in many ways within family and government.
But i will admit, in this current era of the serial whore,, geneology researchers will have a devil of a time 150 years from about now.
