[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop it with the middle name business. It doesn’t count as some kind of feminist statement. No one ever knows or cares what your middle name is u less you are a high school year book editor. [/quote]

I did not do this personally (my last name as a middle name for my children), but I'm guessing they didn't do it as a feminist statement or because they care about anyone else's approval. Get down off your high horse.

What I do not get are people like OP or PP who feel the need to chime in about this choice.  How does it affect you in any way?  Why do you care so much that you come on here and snipe?  Suggests some issue with you that you need to resolve.

It’s an anonymous website. I would never call out my friends on their stupid choices, but I can vent here it’s great. The middle name
Stuff is bull shit. If you are confident in your choice, you won’t care about my opinion. And yes, I’m fact, I am right about this. It’s bull shit feminism to give your kid your father’s last name as their middle name and somehow claim that is a equal to reclaiming a “sir” name.  Maybe I’m radical, but I’m so fing tired of all these liberal arts school feminist getting precious about their Daddy’s last name. Why do you care what I care about. I’m also very passionate about my diet soda preferences (diet Barq’s or bust) and no one calls me out for being on a high horse about that stuff.  I’m allowed to have an opinion on this. Opinions are totally free and allowed. I also prefer the color blue. [/quote]

I don't care what you think, frankly, but you do provide a perfect example of what I am talking about.  Your sniping is really all about your own issues. You admit you come on here purposely to vent your bile on people you don't know about life choices they make that don't impact you at all. Weird.

I didn't see anyone on this thread mention giving their kids their last name as a middle name as an example of some feminist manifesto.[/quote]

Say what now? My husband’s last name is HIS NAME, but my last name is MY DADDY’S name? How does that work exactly?

Under your theory it’s super creepy to be obsessed about taking my husband’s DADDY’s name. It feels a little incestuous doesn’t it...
