I’d prefer the activists spend their time helping us get equal pay for equal work. If you don’t want to be specifically named after a man in your family (which historically was used to denote ownership anyway), make up your own last name when you become an adult. With very few exceptions, somewhere down the line you’ll have been named after a man. Otherwise, why marry the man at all? Just co-habitate instead.Įven if your parents never married and you have your mom’s last name, it’s still just your grandfather’s name. Then when I thought about it, it’s illogical to keep your father’s name over your husband’s. I am not a feminist, but for some reason I just got irritated when people automatically started calling me by his last name, even though I had not legally changed my name. When I first married my husband I didn’t take his name right away. When I got my passport, I lol’ed at the irony of being officially italian but having lost the Zanetti from my name, since italians use only one last name. My friends in the academic field use hyphenation to avoid this when submitting papers to conferences (I’d send my papers in as Jaime García-Zanetti).Īnother funny thing: I am italian from my mother’s side (Zanetti) and did all the paperwork to get my italian citizenship. I wonder what will happen when I take the same flight as one Jaime Zanetti… 😀 I have to wait until the machine fails to find me three times to get a human being’s attention. When I travel to the USA, I can’t use my credit card to identify myself on the self-checkin machines at the airport because a swipe will reveal me as “Zanetti, Jaime García” and of course the tickets are issued to Jaime García.
Which is a pain in the ass when you need to interact with one-last-name cultures.įor example, let’s say my name is Jaime García Zanetti. I’m from south america and I have two last names. They called him Bob Merzerski-Fontenella-McIntyre-Rockefeller-Levy-Maxwell-Oldenburg-DuPont-Percelli-Hall-Gonzeles-Grant-O’Malley-Finkel-Harris-Smith.ĭrivers licenses were getting hard to carry.Īnd Bob and Sue knew they would soon be in big trouble. They called her Jane Percelli-Hall-Gonzales-Grant-O’Malley-Finkel-Harris-Smith. They called him Tom O’Malley-Finkel-Harris-Smith. It’s hard just seeing people as people isn’t it? I didn’t realize how many ways I stereotyped white folks. I, on the other hand, am a bixesual cohabitator myself, so I’ll take the aisle seat please. With those kind of liberal leanings you might well ask yourself, “Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?” You also mentioned having a “partner” not a gender specific “husband” or “wife” so I’m going to assume that you are either a gay or lesbian degenerate or you’re an unmarried “co-habitator”. Father of the Bride II (the Steve Martin one not the Spencer Tracy one called Father’s Little Dividend). This practice of making up a last name out of current surnames like you’re doing the Sunday Jumble is so white it was mentioned in the whitest of white movies ever. Ok, I shouldn’t get sucked in but this has to be the whitest comment I’ve read here yet. My partner and I (ha!) made up a last name for our kids and gave them that.
