Quick open question. I do agree with the article but it ignores the fact that yes a woman tends to give up her name, but that is literally an acceptance that she has moved from her father’s protection to her husband. Again, antiquated, but I think most women are OK with that and can see the good side to it. BUT that’s exactly it, marriage is stability for most women. It means they are supported and if they decide to divorce and want the kids? The sys em in this case absolutely destroys men. If it were the other way now I bet you it would be one of the biggest agendas on the feminist docket.

You have written a good article that has genuinely changed my mind, but for feminism to really be successfully of ask more women to confront mens rights issues. Its a double positive, it would open a discussion on a clearly broken system for men. It would also demonstrate that feminism is genuinely an inclusive idea based on real equality. Not just fighting against what you see is wrong but trying to be positively influential in an area not directly related. Would love to hear some ideas, because as a 24 year old man, when I hear girls my age talk with authority on solely womens right and Fuck the patriarchy and all that I switch off. Unless you’re rich chances are you’re losing to the patriarchal capitalist system in place, regardless of your gender.
