Well your right, its not in the bible. I'm just saying why change what people do already in america?
Why change it? Because there are a lot of American women who don't want to change their names, that's why. And that is reason enough.
Twisting words much. Where did I say equal rights was the devils plan? I said the devils plan is to split up people (men and women) by bringing up silly issues and turning into a big deal.
You said "Sounds like your trying to rationalize the extremist feminist view. And saying its progress is just another reason to try and justify something that theres nothing wrong with. Its just part of the devils plan to create as much chaos as he can in order to split a splinted society up even more. Its working well." From that, I read that extremist feminist views are "just part of the devil's plan." Either that or you are saying progress is part of the devil's plan, but if that were true, you would not be making use of modern technology. Also, if this were such a "silly issue", you would not have made such derogatory comments about women's right to choose to keep their own names rather than take their husband's. If it's such a "silly issue" why even have an opinion, and just let women make the choice for themselves without having to call them things like "extremist feminists."
So basically your just redirecting the question. So I guess the question is why are you so offended by taking a mans last name? Unless you feel men are "better" or something then theres no reason to worry about the last name being changed as a woman. My wife? Shes not like "Well I can't take your last name because men are oppressive!", before we got married she said she would take my last name because its what most people do. So nothing to do with me being oppressive or her being forced to. Though technically because she came to america her middle name is actually her original last name. I picked it like that. So see I don't mind the change. I'm just stating women can be upset about something that should not be a big deal. When we see God He will not be saying "I am glad you fought to make sure women can keep their last name, that was very important to do with your time on earth!"
I'm not redirecting any question. I originally asked this question and you have not answered. Tell me, why wouldn't you take your wife's last name if she asked you to?
Why am I offended? Because of the derogatory things said about women who choose their own last name rather than choose to change it. Seriously, who are you men to suggest the reasons why women make the choices they do, and then insist that it's for your imposed reasons rather than the truth of our own reasons? That is false accusations, it is believing lies, and it is making really inappropriate sweeping judgements about what women think - and those judgements are wrong, so from my perspective, it is being falsely accused of a really lousy belief that you have of women rather than of the truth. That's why I'm offended.
My wife? Shes not like "Well I can't take your last name because men are oppressive!", before we got married she said she would take my last name because its what most people do. So nothing to do with me being oppressive or her being forced to.
Seriously? Wow. I do not know of ONE woman who has ever said they can't take a husband's name because "men are oppressive." Not one. So for you to even suggest that is one of the reasons women don't take men's name is exactly the false accusation you are making. And yes, when I stand before God and account for my stuff, I will be absolutely proud to say that I advocate for women's rights - the right to choose her own last name without being accused of believing men to be oppressive.
