Janet - 30-odd years ago, when I got married, I didn’t take my husband’s name. I remember the City Clerk getting so ANGRY, asking me if I understood that my CHILDREN and my HUSBAND would have a different last name from me, and if I ever came to my senses I would have to go to a COURT OF LAW to change my name if I didn’t do it RIGHT NOW on that marriage license. Any doubts I had about my choice went away right then, and my husband and children have been very GRATEFUL over the years that my last name is different, so when that lady begins to mouth off at town meeting, nobody connects her with them!

No this country isn’t ready to see women as equals.
But some of this is our own fault.
Will your daughters get married, Janet? If they do, will they take their husband’s name? This isn’t legally required you know.
These are choices. Some women are more comfortable in these roles and they see women who want to change that as a threat to their comfort, like Hillary who would change that by being elected.
Whether you are in here in the south -(Georgia) or up there in the north, we are all in the same boat unless we (as women) do something ourselves to change this. It starts with women changing women one woman at a time!!!
