as for comparing to the suffergettes. What right is being fought for in the name change debate?
no dear, it was simply to illustrate the point that often women actively work against their own interests but that feminists will still care about them, and the cause (whatever it might be) regardless. It was a direct answer to your sneering post that weren't women lucky to have feminists looking out for them. Yes women are lucky, the idea that what feminists are debating about is unimportant or no one gives a shit is not new - it goes back until at least the 1900s, but still they persist.
As many posters have now pointed out to you, very few choices are actually free choices (this includes men as well) we are all constrained by our traditions, experiences and opportunities. Questioning choices women make does not mean that we think women don't think - we are simply offering them a different viewpoint to consider.
As I said up thread, people questioning choices and traditions often causes other people to get upset. The status quo can be very comforting, and change, even a change in perception, can be disconcerting.
You said that name changing wasn't patriarchal, i pointed out it was and explained the history behind it. You haven't had an actual counterpoint to this and have just become increasingly snide so I will try my best not to answer your next disingenuous, goady retort as this isn't going anywhere.
What's the saying? - Don't argue with stupidity, it will drag you down to its level and then beat you with experience - wise words.
