Lobster, I’m trying to figure out from this thread what you point(s) is. How are you defining 3rd wave feminism?

Re: Last names

Honorable, Dr, and Reverend do not denote gender. Can we survive this?

Re: Last names

Good point about referring to teachers with the honoring title. I agree completely. Several of you brought up the gender identity benefit of Mr and Miss,Ms,Mrs. The only reason I can think of this being a benefit is because our pronouns also have gender identities. I work with very foreign names so ...

Re: Last names

I don’t have my kiddos last name. It has never been a problem. Zero. Flying internationally with just the two of us. Crossing the US-Canadian border. Medical doctor’s offices. Schools. Just never ever an issue. Also, we look nothing alike.

Re: Last names

Related to gender and names, I wish we didn't have Mr and Mrs (or Miss or Mx etc.). I do not see any honoring significance with those terms. Honorable and Dr at least describe something someone earned.

Re: Shut it down.

I love opinions contrary to mine. But there are few opinions here. Mostly ill-informed rants/memes/and other assorted miscellania intended to reassure one's place in the self-created moral and social order. It's our political ethos in microcosm. What do you expect when no one is really open to chan...

Re: Last names

I know two dudes who combined their last names (without a hyphen) into something new. It actually became a nice sounding name and better sounding than either of their fathers' last names.

To be fair I should ask if any would be open to taking their wife's father's last name?

Last names

Dudes, when or if you get married to a woman, will you ask your love if she wants to keep her last name or take yours?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

Re: Shoe money trial

I’m not gathering a stake and tinder yet, but just saying hypothetically... Can I sue Bill Self if he defrauded KU and I paid for a rule-following team to follow? If a coach knew about it, then it is the coach doing the defrauding rather than a shoe company. Your example is silly and stupid...and i...

Now that I’m on my phone, I realize that the “return to the X board” isn’t even available (it is in the lower left corner on the full version). Getting a good sized link (button?) for this would be SUPER!

I wasn’t nearly good enough to be in the basketball band. But all marching band members could get into the bball games for free. This was the day of paper tickets. We just had to enter via the southwest entrance and get our name checked off of a list. To this day, when seeing college bands on tv, I ...

Re: A little history

I was in the KU marching band in 1992 (just one year; checked that off my bucket list). The football team was good that year (Aloha Bowl winners; Glen Mason-coach). The crowds were good that year (31-48k at Memorial Stadium). I had attended KU Band Days during high school, so I enjoyed the football ...
