A message to pregnant women β please give the baby your surname.
— Dr Charlotte Proudman (@DrProudman) August 9, 2023
You carried a baby for 9 months, gave birth, and will be responsible for that child for the rest of your life. When youβre registering the baby ask yourself: why is the fatherβs surname more important than yours?

One day Proudman will put all the disgusting scrotes in concentration camps. Im counting down the days
The point is to make the father feel responsible for the child
That you think this is necessary says volumes about you and men in general.
Generally speaking, if a cultural practice has been around forever, it's best to exhibit some humility about it rather than assuming you know better than everyone who came before you.
The point is everyone knows the child is the mother's when she carried it in her body. That's why they take the father's surname. This whole "I carried the baby so it should have my name" is petty and childish
Yes, and that appropriates ownership of reproduction and property to the man. You could have a system like Iceland where everyone is called β<fathers name="">dottir/sonβ but substitute the mothers name instead. But that would define a matriarchal society which the men don't want.</fathers>
If you're a good Dad/parent your connection should be obvious enough without the need to have your kids named after you.
Why would you take it willingly? It's an antiquated tradition
Because her husband is presumably worth his salt and wouldn't have married her if she's going to be petty enough to go against tradition. Marriage IS tradition, that's the whole point of it.
Not willingly madam, you were coerced into taking his name by the Patriarchy.
The Patriarchy is you telling this woman she doesn't know her own mind.
That's wrong. I am a feminist. As such, I'm telling this woman she doesn't know her own mind. What her mind should be telling her is that her husband oppressed her into taking his name. He must have done. Otherwise she wouldn't have taken it.
You can tell a male feminist by his hairline
They won't be happy till everybody hates everybody.
Your husband is a loser

No matter how far back they go, it's a father's name. Do foids even have a real surname? It's just whoever owns her and marriage the passing of ownership from one man to another.

My favourite part is how African Americans choose wacky non-traditional first names, like Laquisha and Deshondre, but keep the traditional European surnames of the YTs who used to own their ancestors.
