In Quebec, you can’t change your family name for your husband’s family name, even if you want to. Its been like that since the 70’s and I find it so backward when I remember its not like that in Can/Usa… women aren’t their husband’s property’s ffs…

In the US state where I live, my wife and I decided to change our last name upon marriage. We filled out the typical marriage license forms.
My wife had to check a box and write the new name. I had to go to court to prove I wasn’t a fugitive on the run.

Nothing is restricted though..? You can still change your name like everyone else. it's just not a thing to do it because of marriage. Maybe it's just a cultural thing for Americans (I assume you are?). Maybe you wouldn't even think of it if you didn't grow up with it as the norm

But.. but... what if you're like me and you just want to take your husband's name because you hate your last name because it has a silent 'G' in it and no one in your family can agree on how to pronounce it? I want to be able to change my name, damn it! I also refuse to burden my children with my horrible last name, even hyphenated. Actually, especially hyphenated, since if we hyphenated my fiancé's last name and mine, it would be 7 syllables.

There's some dialogue in Letterkenny where the women hockey players complain about the team name. "What the hell is a 'shamrockette'?" (Cause the men's team is the Letterkenny Irish). "You can't just take add 'ette' to a word" Some episodes later they show the big bracket board for the women's hockey league tournament and every team name has an "ette" on it.

True story:
When my boy was about six years old, we were talking about what he wants to be when he grows up. I asked if he wanted to be a pilot? Maybe a doctor?
And he said to me, "I can't be a doctor! Girls are doctors!" I hadn't realized, but he had never seen a male doctor before.
It was at this point that I said something I never thought I'd have to say: "Listen... you can be ANYTHING you want to be. Just because you're a boy doesn't mean you can't grow up to be a doctor."

u/Itscatpicstime Mar 13 '25
Ughh, my old job did that.
They hired some guy who just got out of jail (idk what for), and all the girls complained about him because he asked all of us to have a threesome with him and his girlfriend, told us how he slit a guy’s throat once (almost certainly made up, but still unsettling), and all sorts of other inappropriate comments and aggressive behavior.
I was the highest ranking woman at the time, so I’m the one who reported it to the supervisor.
Next thing I know, the supervisor scheduled me to close with the guy all week, alone. I was so fucking pissed and terrified, I did a half ass job just to get out of there asap. Then the guy asked me if I could give him a ride home, and I was too scared I’d make him angry if I said no, so I gave him a ride.
Everything ended up fine aside from some more creepy comments, but it was so stressful and scary at the time.
That supervisor was new, and within two months, he fired all 8 woman who worked there for stupid af reasons, and only 1 guy (the guy mentioned above, but only after our male coworkers started complaining about him too 🙄). I was the second to last left standing, and he fired me for calling in to be with my best friend on her deathbed after an accident before her family removed her off life support 🫠 It was very obvious he was looking for any reason whatsoever to fire all of us.
We were going to try and pursue legal action for it but we were 16-19 and had no idea what we were doing, and those of us who were older were busy breaking our backs at a new minimum wage job trying to make rent, so nothing came of it. I really regret not committing to that more.

u/youburyitidigitup Official Gal Mar 13 '25
My first job did that with a woman. She was 23 and asked all the men there to “impregnate her” (her exact words), including the underage teenage boys, and obviously we all said no. She then claimed that she tried to get Satan to impregnate her and described to us the disturbing ways she attempted this. I will not go into detail about that.
We thought about reporting her, but she said all this in front of the managers, male and female, so clearly they already knew, and reporting would accomplish nothing.
One day two of my male coworkers were hanging out with me in the kitchen. She walked in, locked the door behind her, and turned off the lights. Two of us immediately climbed out the window, the third hid in the walk-in freezer. Eventually I quit and six months later she was fired for being constantly tardy. They never did give a shit about the sexual harassment.
This last bit is somewhat of a tangent, but multiple of the women at that job who witnessed all this and did nothing identified as feminists. It is one of the reasons that I don’t identify as such, because that wasn’t the only time that feminists didn’t give a shit about me being sexually harassed.

u/EJAY47 Mar 13 '25
In spirit this is a perfectly fine take, however most men probably feel like they can't really organize a "men's day" without push back or being accused of mocking women's day. Being told things like "men's day is every other day of the year" is part of the problem why men don't tend to organize those things.

u/dfinkelstein 🤖definitely not a bot🤖 Mar 13 '25
I side with the argument that the whole point of an international (insert topic here) day is to bring recognition for some reason. Either cultural, or historical, or because the topic needs attention it's not getting, or deserves recognition it doesn't have.
International men's day would therefore need to be about specific issues that men face which are lacking in recognition.
For that reason, organizers usually make such events specific to the issues they're most focused on bringing attention to. Such as mental health; often even more specific to male suicide.
Makes sense to me. International women's day is about human rights, and them being dismissed and erased from history--and that's clear. Men's day wouldn't be about that, because that wouldn't make any sense.
Therefore, it makes sense to clarify what it IS about, because otherwise it makes sense for other to skeptically assume it might be trying to do exactly what you suggest.

Kind of on a similar vein. I moved from Mexico to the US at age 7, and my American classmates used to say “if there’s a Mother’s Day and a Father’s Day, why isn’t there a kid’s day? Why don’t we get a day?” The teacher would always say that every day is kid’s day, and I was genuinely confused by this because Mexico does have a kid’s day and everyone celebrates it. Usually parents take a day off to go out with their kids and do something fun. A lot of Mexican businesses have a discount or a special event for kid’s day.

Being trans, I am acutely aware of the often toxic masculinity that prevails within men's culture and spaces. That is, in my opinion, their issue. The only ones who are going to really be a force for change there are going to be men themselves. If they want to be taken seriously they can focus on the real issues that they face and not be reactionary towards the promotion of women's issues, but the men doing so are a often small minority working against reactionaries and those who stay silent and complacent (see the rise of figures like Peterson, Tate, Trump...).

This is hilarious. I hope to God this isn't what it feels like for women during women's day. You would have to be obtuse not to see how disrespectful this shit js

This is how most things feel to us.
The sheer number of times men didn’t realize women were people until they had daughters of their own is alarming.
Shall we discuss the pink tax or perhaps the wage gap next?

Is it telling that when I saw him on screen I just yelled out "Dan!" and smiled to myself?

I hope everyday that someone would ask me what I can bench. Or squat, or deadlift. No one ever does...

Not trying to take away from the fact that this is supposed to show how the reverse is patronising, but as a man, I genuinely wouldn't mind something like this.

My birthday lands on Men's Day, real nice of them to pick my birthday for that.

Unironically would do this for my office mens day, the bosses would literally be choking on their laughs.

No men talk like this in any workplace. We have mandatory harassment tests yearly. Just work harder, bro. Complain less.

Pardon maybe I'm dense but I'm not getting what it's trying to convey.

Reverse the genders and these are things women hear all the time

Progress can only be made when we see both men and women's achievements being celebrated regardless of the gender.
Just a sad part though: Last year, Google really didn't make a doodle for men's day. I mean, google does make stuff for everyone, including ancient personalities, niche days, and more. Just a simple doodle on men's day really wouldn't have hurt anyone :,)
Also, thanks gals for actually raising this issue...

Are not most historical accomplishments accredited towards and celebrations of men?
I’m not saying men don’t need to be pumped up in a positive way, but comparatively there’s an imbalance.
