[quote=Anonymous]It's funny how many people say they kept their name based on feminist principles but gave their children their husband's name. It seems incongruous to me. I couldn't agree more with the early poster who said it's every person's right to choose, and that the act of making the choice is more a victory for feminism than automatically keeping your name. That said, do I judge when people change their names? A bit. Trying not to. But a bit. The fundamental system upon which that premise rests (that you are your father's property and then become your husband's) is so unappealing to me. And YES I realize that my name is my father's. But it's also mine. My kid has my name, not my husband's. Why make the point about choosing to 'stay me' and then turn around and perpetuate the system by saying our children are his heirs?[/quote]
