Still, any time a woman says "I'm not a feminist", something dies inside me. Like a fairy.
-
It sounds like you have a good balance, and the revolving hand sounds interesting!
-
Association argument... Its hampers any sort of progress to be frank. Its the typical shit I hear all the time. I wouldn't expect you to understand. your to busy "raging"...
-
Yeah because I spoke out against equality...
-
-
I am saying you are a rebel without a cause...
-
Anything you have put forward as being sexist can already be removed. So you are very clearly a rebel without a cause...
-
Maybe because its just another bunch of women telling another bunch what they should be doing ?
-
.... double barrel your surname....
Like I said rach, ape boy and op are rebels without a real cause...
My wife has her maiden surname as a middle name now...
-
You mean losing your family name that was taken from the male side. I see
We toyed with creating a new surname altogether so we take neither and become something new. Should have done it really but just couldn't find anything\be arsed in the timeframe then the kids came along

IMO any wedding planning is a balance between what the couple want, and what the families and guests would want/be comfortable with.
-
I'm not a feminist but that is one part of the marriage process I don't agree with - as a woman losing your last name and being replaced by your partners. I appreciate that you don't have to but it is still the tradition and many women do do it still let's be honest. Don't think I've met anyone who's kept their last name after marriage. Seems a bit unnecessary and by doing so for me it would feel like losing me and a part of my family

You don't have to be "given away"... You can be "presented" instead if you so wish ?
-
Selfish, wrong and totally misguided in my humble opinion - sorry. The couple getting married aren't the only people who really matter. You are inviting people to spend time with you, asking them to share a day that is important to you, your guests are your first consideration, as they don't really have any choice in how the day goes, they are simply agreeing to be a part of your day, many of them making great sacrifices to do so. I really don't like the whole "me, me me" culture that some people seem to think is acceptable. Sorry if that's old fashioned, but its the way I feel.

We toyed with the idea of having a completely unconventional wedding. One of my fiancee's suggestions was that I would wear a veil during the ceremony and that she'd lift it at the end and kiss me. I felt like running with it for a while but then realised my parents would probably have died right there right then with the shock. Mind you, it could work out financially - the wedding funeral combo!
-
The father giving away the bride to her new owner, the woman taking the man's name, the virginal white dress, the bride promising to obey her man etc etc.
-
Barry talking about contracts and terms and conditions made me cringe a bit, but in terms of your legal rights, what difference does it make?
I know nothing about the legal benefits of marriage as I've never really considered getting married. But my boyfriend and I will be having kids and buying a house at some point. I assume you have different rights as a married couple.
-
I can understand silly god botherers like barry wanting to take part in this archaic, sexist ceremony. But normal people? you must be crackers.
-
I didn'r expect to find myself defending Barry as a 'silly god botherer' but be fair Russy and have a bit of respect.
-
Some people will assume that because you're a woman, you must want to have children and get married and you've probably had your wedding planned since you were five.
If you know what you want or what you don't want, then stick with it, and don't let others pressure you into questioning your choices.
I think people get married because they want to make a commitment to each other but I don't think you need marriage for that. Three of my friends have got engaged in the last few months and I'm really excited and happy for them because they all really want to get married. But me and my boyfriend aren't interested in getting married, and our married friends won't be any more committed to their relationships than we are.
If you live together, you've already made a commitment to each other and you don't need to do any more than that, but if you want to, go for it.

He wasn't arrested originally for the abuse but drugs.
-
If the victims in the current case are only babies and therefore unable to come forward, and their mother's allowed the abuse then how did the police find out?
-
Rumours of him being a child abuser go back as far as ten years apparently.
-
One of his ex girlfriends is on This Morning and she said that he told her that he was planning to rape a baby, but when she reported it to the police they did nothing about it and told her that she could be charged with harassment. He apparently accused her of being a stalker. Obviously his fame has given him the cover to abuse children.
The other guy on This Morning who I think has worked on the case says that there are a lot more victims. The problem is that they're too young to come forward themselves and the mother's won't want to come forward as they allowed the abuse so would be charged.
I am assuming that these women who have allowed him access to their children are single parents, as there has been no mention of the Fathers.
Got any gigs coming up?
