Last Names and Marriage

Uh yeah, and if you read the post....I don't expect ANY man to buy me a ring. In fact, I don't even like a man buying me dinner, why the fuck would I want him to buy me a ring?

At least I'm consistently non-traditional...and you're consistently misogynistic. The obvious manipulation of my former avatar for yours is a clear example of that.

 

Hey DB had to post this for you. So bm out earn ww right?

Oh good, the data has been updated finally!

That's encouraging to see.

But discouraging that men and women- across the board- are still not making equal amounts.

That must mean you're going to fight to support the Equal Pay Act, yes?

 

Good deflection oh whoa is me little rich girl. I think I'll focus on equal employment. Like I said you're fighting to get more money for hand bags I'm thinking about dudes who CAN'T find any work at all and end up turning to a life of crime as a result of that.

 

OMG, really?

You're sounding like Lippy now. Deluded.

Imaginary BF to make a point. A message board classic. Why not talk about him in the "What's Going On With You" thread? No, just in this one where you're losing the argument.

 

I actually stole it from LA. So I guess he's "misogynistic" too.

 

So....because I didn't announce it in the thread you think I should have, it's BS? LOL. Talk about deluded. I also wasn't losing...it's not a discussion that can be lost because everyone is different. I was trying to demonstrate that there are men out there who aren't as ridiculous as some of you are being, refusing to accept that there's more than one way to look at marriage and names. But, whatever.

 

If the shoe fits....

 

"Little rich girl", really? I work for everything I have, and save for it. And I'm working for HANDBAGS?! Talk about a sexist thing to say. I have a mortgage, car, taxes, and bills to pay. You have a lot of nerve trying to invalidate the fact that equal pay for equal work matters, especially when it applies to you. I'm sure your mother would love to make the same as a male nurse so she could have had more money to provide for you growing up. I'm sure your aunts and female cousins would, too....especially if they're providing for their families when someone is unemployed...oh, but they're probably working for handbags too, right?

That was one of the most offensive and disgusting things you've ever said to me, Andrae.

 

Let me break this down for you. Complaining you don't get enough water to those who are dying of thirst is plain rude but again thanks for deflecting and playing poor little victim. I'm seriously wondering about you. I didn't forget about that hut comment you made to Appiah yesterday. A little suspect.

Again way to focus on the insignificant lol.

 

will there ever be a waking moment for you that you don't obsess about me...i thought you had moved on to pick on jenny, DB and pixie as well as a host of other posters that don't kiss your ass...

i didn't realize that we all had to catalog or lives here...my handsome man is not imaginary and not necessarily a bf yet...he is significant...i think you are just jealous because you don't know who it is...please i am begging you to just leave me alone...don't follow me around the forum...don't quote me and don't make reference to me...you are making a fool out of yourself...

 

so we aren't getting married:smt022heart breaker

 

Again, I think this is a personal thing on choosing to take someones name but a couple who were friends of mine exemplify this thought. They never combined anything. They lived as if they were two single people just coincidentally in the same house. They lived as if they were going to breakup instead of two people who wanted to be/stay together. It was no surprise whatsoever that they didn't make it. In their mind I think they contributed to their own demise. If you don't love, believe or have faith why get together at all??

 

LMAOOO this is very funny, any way who said because you marry a traditional man and she has your kids she is entitled to half your property and other stuff . Some women just think having a man's kids is an honour to the man smh . If he didnt have strong sperms to fertilize the egg YOU would not have the kid so he put in much work just as you show popping out babies is no favour to a man p-lease.

 

Whomever I wind up marrying, she can keep the last name. I'm not one to force someone to accept my last name. The idea of patriarchal marriage has been loosening for quite some time since marriage, thus far, has become more of a marketing tool for property rights.

However, when it comes to children, I'd prefer a compromise on hyphenating the last names together. At least that much since it's recognizing who's children they belong to.

 

I invite you to pass a bowling ball out of your arse, and then tell us it's as much fun as an orgasm.

 

The avatar says "Men for equality. Equal rights"

How the fuck is that misogynistic??

 

If you disagree w/ DB = "misogynistic"

 

What seems soft for one is right minded, progressive and marriage worthy to another.

 

Recognizing the other person without having to go through the legal process of adopting the other person's surname is a personal (and sensible) choice. How is not reinforcing some traditional standard based on property rights a "soft" position? I'm more of man than you think. I'd rather be objective and not stuck on some idea because "it's tradition."
