Women who call themselves feminists but still insist on changing their name to their husband’s need to do better. We deserve a generation of people that carry their mother’s name.

choice feminism isn't real feminism

If THEY want to change to their partner’s name, that’s their choice. If they feel pressured to do it, or are telling others they should, that’s not okay. I believe anyone should be allowed to change or keep their name, for whatever reason they choose. Man taking a woman’s name? New name for the new family? Hyphenated? There are many options, and I’d rather people get to choose (under their own terms)

i feel like whoever has the coolest last name should pass theirs on. if a vocal feminist is ONLY taking her husbands name for patriarchal convention's sake... like ok ig. if shes taking it because his last name is something cool like Wolffe or Explosion that makes sense to me

Im the op and I agree. Just because anyone SHOULD have the right to choose an option, doesn’t mean their choice further benefits the movement they stand behind. Women who choose their husbands last name should have the right to do so, but it still helps uphold the patriarchy at this point in history. I feel like people are missing this nuance from my original post.

Also I don’t just think it’s on the women by a long shot. Men should be stepping up to ask to take their wives names or pick new names too. It goes both ways.
