I heard someone (a feminist writer dunno who) on Radio 4 a few months ago saying women who change their names when they get married are not feminists.
. I have long been interested in feminism and women's rights. I appreciate the feminist arguments against changing your name. I had my reasons but I don't think that's relevant here. To me this sounds as though to "be" a feminist you have to meet a particular standard.
I think this is the kind of thing that puts a lot of women off the movement.
Opinion s anyone?

Apparently I can't be a feminist because I changed my name when I married.
