It's not a craze but simply choice.. Yorubaboiy, if you have a daughter and she decides to keep your name because you such an amazing father, why not?

I won't mind if she keeps her father's name...... She is free to do whatever she pleases!! Marriage isn't an agreement based on coercion but liberty and happiness....

As long as she is happy, so be it!!

I said what I wanted to say and your dumb ass didn't have to read the "pointless" response and it was so boring that you had to respond to give me your review.

Next.
i took time to give you my review not because i expected to be labelled a dumbass in the process but because i thought you had the maturity to gracefully receive constructive critisism. What you don't know is, men and women are already equal. You and your fellow feminists are just too dumb to see this. Now, about the topic, i retain my stand, keeping your father's surname into your marriage signifies immaturity and inability to submit to your husband. Now, you demand respect. How can you get this respect without showing it first? Your behaviour seems childlish at best.

I can imagine what YOUR home appears to be. Don't worry about my home and my husband is the man of the house and I am the woman of the house. We do not have any discord in our home and we highly respect each other!

Now getting back to what you appears to be confused about and that's why I like fighting with Christians who think they know the bible only to regurgitate what others think a family home should be. As I must add not every family is Christian. The bible doesn't work on those of Islam or Buddhist faith to name a few.

Genesis speaks of the parties leaving their parents home and cleaved as one...it also said that Eve was created from a rib..not toe or heel hone. She was created to be a help mate to Adam who was alone with other creations. Genesis clearly states equality between man and woman.

Now going back to Ephesian 5, which is an example of a Christian family. It doesn't apply to those who are not Christians. Chris is the head of the body, the man is the head of the family, and the woman is his help mate. The man is to submit to God and when a man submit to God, a woman submit to her husband as a reverend to Christ. The man is to love the woman as Christ loved his Church, which means that he is to have unconditional love for his wife and DIE for his wife.

Remember Christ died for those he loved so they can have grace before God.

Now Genesis states man and wife is ONE and ONE is interchangeable with each other. We can't pick and choose what is applicable when it is clear that man and woman is one=equal.

much as i appreciate the concept of equality, it seems to me that it is not biblical and only convenient. i am not good at my bible and will be open to your explaining how equality is biblical

It is official, you are no longer a boy-man. YOU ARE A SUBHUMAN. Congratulations! You should be happy. If you were intelligent, you would know that robots parts and its software can be replaced yet stay true to its original BUT a piece of a man can never be.

Congratulations once again grin, You have succeeded in winning the Dum.best SUBhuman of the century.

Ah, well, seems your idiocy is without limit. If a replaceable contraption has more value than you who claims to be made of irreplaceable parts, you should be headed to a cliff right now to do the needful. So much for the theory of natural selection. And I'm dumb? You're brainless.

If you can accept that it is talking a woman taking a man's surname only to signify that she is married...why can't you accept that being married back in the days was a mean to quality of life for married women?

Taking the surname was the only way to show that the woman is wife to the man. It was about status and class which is the same thing the bible speaks of!
Go and read the bible verse,you will find out it's futuristic and it will also interest you to know that the women will be willing to clothe and feed themselve,all what they want is to bear the man's name. My friend, you and i known it is happening now.

She bears my name simple. My wife didn't even think of that, we just went for the change of name and placed it in newspaper, Lo ba pari! I don't think a woman can do that alone, it must be agreed.

Where did I say that was all feminism was about?

Your reading comprehension skills are atrocious if that is what you took from my comment.

The question was about surnames. The reason why feminists argue for double-barrelled names is because they believe that women should not be forced to lose their own identity - that is a choice that should be available to married women.

If you re-read what I wrote you will see how silly you have been.

You need to articulate better if you want us to understand you better. You added the last paragraph after I have responded to your post Instead of being an asshole and questioning reader's comprehension skills..you need to first make all of your points instead adding after people have responded.

I have responded to your original statement which was on point!

If you have issues accepting it then that is not my issue.

if she has made a name for herself before I married her, then no problem.

There are some married women who not only ditched their fathers surname, but acquire the husband first and last name as part of their name

Screws and bolts=robot. A robot would have more value than you who is supposedly made of flesh. You're a disgrace and a waste of space. You don't even have enough value to be a cumbucket.

No wonder you needed a woman to make you feel valuable grin . You are irredeemably stup.id

Parts if replaceable, may be valuable but can never be more valuable than an irreplaceable part, therefore my conclusion that 'you are stupi.d for comparing a human to a robot'

I have read the bible verse and I said the women would bear a name of a married man just to be married. What you just said is redundant to what has already been said and applied.

I don't think that it's an issue to take husband's surname and keep maiden name. It won't change anything if you do and your marriage shouldn't suffer because of it.

Men likes to feel in power and important so they requires women to take on their name. I don't see women going around shouting "take my father's name" so why are the men shouting?

There are more important things to worry about than surname. It won't strengthen or kill your marriage. . Stupidity will!

A man told me that he left his wife because she didn't take his surname and felt she didn't love him so. People nowadays don't have a clue what marriage is and why it was created in the first place!
Madam keep quiet,you a known notorious feminist and would support a perversion of all that traditionally keeps the male as head,your opinion shouldn't be relevant to any true culturally upholding person.

My use of the verb 'could' expresses a possibility. And if you were smart enough, yo would know that it is the unfortunate reality. Futhermore, Dispose is a relative word. Married women can be disposed yet be married.
If you were smart enough you would know i used the word MIGHT. Furthermore, the word DISPOSE is used in human context when you want to get rid of a person.

Now you are lying - I didn't add or alter anything.

Either you cannot read or you did not read it properly.

What I wrote was very clear and very concise. It's not a difficult concept, like I said, your reading comprehension might not be up to scratch.

You used the word 'choice' and I used the word 'may' but you simply repeated what I said whilst claiming to say something different.

Just accept that you were in a rush to argue a non-existent point.

Nope, I used 'dispose' bearing in my mind lots of likely situations for example a man who marries another woman or hold his mistresses in higher esteem over his wife undecided

But that should nt be an issue 4 men since their name would still be included in our names
It's only 'bush' boys, local champions and insecure folks that will have issue with that. For the record, a married woman has all legal right to retain her fathers name after marriage if she choses to. I did my wife's change of name and retained her surname without being asked to. However, i think it's not proper for a lady to be yelling 'i have the right to keep my fathers name'.. It would be better she tell her man that she will like to retain it.

Didnt d man leave his father n mother also to cleave to d wife. If so he should leave his surname. There is notin wrong in her adding her surname. It even retains her identity even as she is married.


sagitarius:
If it's not agreed by both parties, then it's not right. These are some of the 'little' issues that can cause marital conflicts. If you're married, you've left your Father and Mother, then you and your spouse are now one. Stop all these modern-day trends in marriages.

That's why I said it should be agreed by both parties madam. Why do children bear the man's name as their last name? Because He's the head of the Household (And this is biblical) The wife bears the name of the husband as his wife. If you're married, your name is changed from Miss (which ends with your Father's name) to Mrs (Which ends with ur hubby's name) as a change in status to bear that name of the Head now. Marriage is all about understanding and communication. If that will bring about problems, then the wife shouldn't insist on bearing her Father's name at the detriment of a Peaceful home.



No please. They bear the father's name Because he is their father. The woman still have her father. He husband doesn't automatically become her father.
