1. El Apellido como Símbolo de Propiedad Patriarcal.
Numerosos comentarios critican la costumbre de que las mujeres adopten el apellido de su esposo como un vestigio arcaico del patriarcado. Se percibe como un acto de sumisión que borra la identidad de la mujer y la trata como una propiedad transferida del padre al marido.
- "married names" for women were always a vestige of patriarchy* and here the patriarchy is using it. *yes, i know all the reasons individuals do it. It's still collectively patriarchy.
- Women should not change their names when they marry. This "tradition " treats women as property transferred from father to husband. I told my husband if he wanted us to have the same name, he was welcome to change his to mine. Oddly, he didn't want to do that. Fuck the patriarchy.
- Reject the patriarchy. Why should women give up their identity in the first place? take back your maiden name.
- Taking a husbands name is at the root of patriarchy. It was a way to identify who, as a woman, you “belonged” to.
- It’s an obsolete vestige of patriarchy. Women shouldn’t be treated as their husband’s property. If you want to change your name it’s your choice but it shouldn’t be assumed to be the norm.
2. Llamados a la Resistencia: "Recupera tu Apellido".
Una respuesta contundente en los textos es el llamado a la acción para que las mujeres se resistan. Se las anima a conservar su apellido de soltera al casarse o a revertir legalmente a él como un acto de desafío directo contra las estructuras patriarcales.
- Great way to discourage marriage and/or changing one’s name. I think i’ll go back to my maiden name. Fuck the patriarchy!
- Women: change your name back! do not change your name when you get married! fuck the patriarchy!
- Easier solution is to not change your name in the first place. Resist the patriarchy.
- Every married woman in the us needs to immediately revert to their maiden name. Not only does this emasculate the save bill, but it also emasculates patriarchy.
- Don't participate in the patriarchy, stop getting married, or at the very least keep your name.
3. La Tradición Usada como Arma para Suprimir el Voto.
Una gran preocupación es cómo el sistema patriarcal utiliza la tradición que él mismo impuso para perjudicar a las mujeres. Se denuncia que leyes como la "SAVE Act" buscan deliberadamente privar del derecho al voto a las mujeres casadas al exigir que su identificación coincida con su certificado de nacimiento.
- This is fucking diabolical. The patriarchy demands we take our husbands name, then uses our acquiescence of that tradition to keep us off the voting rolls.
- Diabolical masquerading as just stupid: rejecting ballots where a woman's married name does not match her birth certificate!! note to women: do not change your name when you get married! it is another tool of patriarchy that they have just used against you.
- If you've ever scoffed at the idea that women changing their last names to "match" their spouses' is a devious tool of patriarchy, i suggest you take a look at the save act.
- Changed your name upon marriage? pay attention. This save act is brought to you by the patriarchy. Carry on. Nothing to see here.
- The save act- voter suppression there’s something darkly poetic about how the patriarchy made women take men’s last names & become their property. Now, that same system may block them from voting without the “right” paperwork.
4. La Paradoja del Patriarcado: El Apellido del Padre.
Algunos comentarios exploran la complejidad de la resistencia, señalando que el "apellido de soltera" es, en la mayoría de los casos, el apellido del padre. Esto subraya la naturaleza profundamente arraigada del patriarcado, donde las opciones a menudo se limitan a elegir entre una línea patriarcal y otra.
- My whole issue is it is the patriarchy all the way down. My father was a terrible person. I chose to carry my partner’s name instead. You can choose a new name from a badass female relative/ role model, but that won’t solve this legal problem. It is all patriarchy.
- Isn't your last name your father's? isn't that honoring the patriarchy?
- Yes revert to the name of your father that will smash the patriarchy.
- You can choose your father’s last name or your husband’s last name…pick your patriarchy. (i chose the first one; both times!).
- But my birth certificate has my father's surname, so the patriarchy still stands! hooray!
