TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name

If Matt Walsh wasn’t openly a male supremacist I’d say it should be turned around on him.

Yet another conservative weakchin hiding behind a beard.

They're certainly going for a look right now.

It's heart warming to see Jeffrey Combs is an incredible actor with good taste in the company he keeps. It's exciting seeing him vocally shouting down the fascists.

I think it’s safe to say that Walsh knows a lot about women maintaining “walls of separation”. Maybe even restraining orders.

The compromise is clearly to swap last names with each other

My wife went double-barreled after I specifically told her I didn't care if she changed, kept, or anything in between. I didn't want to change my name, so why should she have to?

Twenty years next summer.

Edit: "double-barreled" just means hyphenated.

When discussing marriage with my girlfriend (now wife), she mentioned not wanting to change her name. I told her this wasn't acceptable - I expected her to change her name. But she repeated not wanting to change her last name. I told her she misunderstood, I didn't want her to change her last name, I wanted her to change her first name to "groupofcrows property", she can keep her last name. She did not accept this. (Yes this was a real conversation, yes we have been married for 7 years, no she did not change her name)

Calling it now. His next movie is "Am I a misogynist?" and in it he will prove that he is indeed one.

You don't expect Herbert West: Reanimator to be the voice of reason... yet here we are

What a funky timeline

Who cares what name anyone uses .... my wife and I never got married and she's always had her name and we never bothered changing a thing because we never cared. No one cares ... not even the government.

Spend 500 Candies to evolve your Wayoon into a Shran? [yes] [no]

I love everything he's done, but going back and watching Enterprise was great because he's SO great in that show everytime he shows up.

It's illegal to change your name for wedding reason in Quebec (Canada). Something that followed the quiet Revolution and distancing government and religion. You don't own your wife. You can still pee on her shoes but it won't be notarized.

I prefer the old ways. Steve son of Bill 5th generation Help Desk support.

My wife didn't change her last name because we both forgot about it in the timeframe where it was easy to do and now we don't want to putz with it. 🤷

I also still don't have a wedding ring. We just had our sixth anniversary a few days ago.

I'm a woman and paid to change my surname because it was difficult for everyone to pronounce. I can only hope my future husband will want to take my name rather than the other way around. I paid for it, it's kinda VIP now.

Asking with curiosity and respect, for those in the "keeping my name" camp -

You were given your name by your parents, and most often the surname is the father's surname.

Most of you adopt nicknames or pet names which change over time (what your family calls you vs your friends vs your colleagues)

Why is it a really big deal to you? Is it being asked / expected to change your name by a societal norm / being told what to do? Or the effort involved in changing it?

Source - male, changed my surname when I moved internationally, married, and wife's family expected her to change her name to mine because we were starting a new family and that would be the family name.

I didn't give a shit because my surname isn't my family name, it's one of my middle names, so it seemed arbitrary, and said so to both her and them.

Wife decided she would change her name and our kid has that name too. It was an absolute pain in the ass to do for her because she's lived here for much longer than me so had more things to change, so I understand not wanting to deal with that. But years down the track - everyone seems happy - reading through these comments tho many of you view this as wrong??

If it creates such a wall of separation, take her name instead. Problem solved.
