    My wife & I never even discussed whether she should or would change her name. She’s not my property.

        That is honestly quite adorable. I considered it.

      I appreciate your progressive attitudes, though I wonder whether you considered how your comment may be received by married Lemmings who’ve already made a different decision than you. Could they perceive an unjustified attack you didn’t intend?

        I don’t think I’m responsible for other adults’ reactions to my life choices or my lived experiences.

          You are correct!

          You are not directly responsible for everyone’s reactions.

          That said, an awareness of how our words and experiences may resonate with differing perspectives shows consideration and helps create a more inclusive space.

          What do you think about helping us create the kind of platform we all want to be on?

            It’s true that as a lemmy.ml admin, I’m not going out of my way to make this an inclusive space for traditional family values. I have different priorities for whom I make this space inclusive.

      Where my wife is over here stealing the last names of my family, my family’s family, and her family’s family. She’s collecting last names like Thanos collecting stones.

      She needs to be stopped before she’s related to everyone.
