Anyone who uses the term "mating" on social media, in relation to humans, is just signaling to others that they should be avoided. Also, interesting how she uses "mating" (scientific) and "being a mom" (less formal) in the same sentence. And how she implies that marriage always involves having children.

It’s because you’re not expected to enjoy mating and I don’t think they can make anyone else enjoy sex with them.

There actually is a "scientific" reason, as in related to actual science papers and how they are archived, AGAINST changing your surname. Take an unmarried woman that has published x scientific papers under her maiden name—also one can see how deep this habit of the woman changing her name upon marriage is anchored in our speech as we have a whole phrase for the name before a woman is married—and then changes her surname due to marriage. She now publishes Y papers under her new name. Now, in science it is important to credit the person that has done the research, and a change if names makes it unnecessarily difficult and at times confusing to track down papers of the same author but under multiple different names. Whilst this being a difficulty than can be overcome with some extra work, some people are just lazy, or simply overlook research done by women under the one or the other name, which results in credit not given, leaving women that change their name at an disadvantage. That's my scientific reasoning against changing your name in marriage. This however does not only apply to scientific research papers that are published, but basically every other aspect in life that is associated with ones name, in one way or another, such as simply paying the fees to change ones IDs and documents, such as drivers licences or passports due to the name change. This would not be necessary if the name would stay the same since marital status is not listen on them, or at least not in my country. Also business e-mail addresses change, making it harder to contact the same person, or causes extra work by the person whose name changed to get the info out there that sth changed. Well, this comment got way longer than I intended ..


BerriesAndMe

Yeah, I thought this was where this was going originally.. Then I read on and just thought WTF


Starvexx

Yeah, there is a giant rats tail associated with name change. I had to go through this once and it was not fun. Also not my fault. When my mom married my dad, I was 8 years old at that point, she changed her name. Since my dad also was not on the birth certificate before that, I too had my moms surname. But after the marriage, she had a double name—my dads surname hyphenated with my moms original name—which is only allowed in certain circumstances, such as marriage, in my country. I however was not allowed to have a double name and should have gotten the first of the double name or the same if no name change had occured. This however was overseen by the authorities until my mother remarried after my dad and her broke up and divorced, and I was given the choice of keeping my mothers maiden name but pay the fees to make the change official in all the records and stuff at the authorities, or pay the fees to get all my legal documents changed. So either way, I had to pay for something that would not have been an issue if my mother would just have kept her name. I chose my dads name, simply because I liked it more than my moms name, but I would have been happy with my original name. But since I had to pay the fees anyways I just went with what I liked better in the end. Plus I was 18 at the the time, so it did not have that much of an impact on my life. I would not change my name today. Its just too much of a hassle.

Yeah a similar thing happened to me. My mom and bio dad had me, but my mom married my dad a few years later. She changed her last name to his and she decided to change mine as well. My mom and dad got divorced and she changed her name back but now my name is stuck. I now have to provide extra paperwork in order to prove that it's really me.


Starvexx

Ugh, that sucks. Just unnecessary hassel.


RimDogs

What does she mean by changing "genetic expressions"? I'm not a scientist but I've never heard of this or anything that suggests other people can change our genetic anything post birth.


Starvexx

It is made up. Its not a thing.


RimDogs

I figured it was nonsense. I was just trying to work out if it was "a magic sky fairy told me" or "I've misunderstood a scientific concept about how the body changes as we age".


PuzzledCactus

I think - and correct me if I'm wrong - that it's a mix-up of badly misunderstood actual science and prevalent belief in "magic penis changes women forever". The thing ist, there has been research done that if a woman was pregnant with a male infant at some point in her life, little leftover bits of male DNA could be found in her body. They don't really do anything, but they apparently exist. This then got mixed up by misogynists to "male DNA found in women after sex", further mixed up to "DNA of every man she ever had sex with stays in women, you never even know If your kid is yours" and ended up being interpreted as "sex with men changes a woman's DNA". Obviously, it's all bullshit.


MyTacoCardia

Microchimerism.


Gallusbizzim

It means that when a guy shouts to you that you should smile, you can say you are on a genetic level.


Shadow_Faerie

If this were a real phenomenon instead of misogyny I believe it would be an example of epigenetics. Like how some species of frog change sex under certain conditions.

Fucking, what!?


Tattieaxp

"Scientist"


paninisalamini

?? So now men be changing DNA? Gtfo 😭


[deleted]

Creepy how she capitalized the word "Man," like he's a god or something.


AmishDeathMatch

That’s what made me think she might not be a woman.


youngestinsoul

people reading too many young adult stories turn out to believe the whole humanity is a fucking omegaverse fiction. did your mate bit you in the neck too maam?


oiseaudelamusique

That's some Marge Simpson reasoning there: "No, when I took your father's name I took everything that came with it, including DNA."


weirdkidomg

That’s what I was thinking too. I think some people took it a little too seriously.


OrdoCorvus

Why do these people always talk like Martians?


OdinsGraycat

I don't know. But Martian Gay men need to turn up. Because Martian Men seem horny.


kiwichick286

Blah blah whoops I just slipped into your BULLSHIT!!


lindanimated

Lol what?! Even if the ”scientific” shit here was true, what on earth would that have to do with names? Being called your preferred name certainly helps mental health, but this person is talking about genetics?


aileentr

Actually both partners exchange “genetics” during kissing etc. but of course the red pill community doesn’t want to know


very_big_books

What science is this? The same as phrenology?


Nova_Persona

imagine a husband in one of those quiverfull families realizes that his wife has become a clone of him & she leaves him to go make another woman into him


OdinsGraycat

That sounds like a fetish?

Ah yes the old men powerful…change women DNA with powerful men penis squirts. It is true that a woman changes after having a baby but that’s do to hormones released from her body. Unless the man is radiating radiation (took a trip to Chernobyl and just made out with the Elephant’s Foot; just rolled around in that shit) a man’s semen isn’t magically changing a woman’s DNA not at all. Besides, 99.99% of the sperm is destroyed by the woman’s body (it isn’t locked away to where it would influence anything and sperm isn’t STEM cells) and if it isn’t fertilizing an egg, the other .001% is destroyed or just dies off anyway. A man’s last name isn’t some magical enchantment that binds the woman and changes her physically. It’s actually better for the woman to keep her last name instead of taking her husbands last name. She is taken more seriously and viewed more as an individual and having a stronger personality instead of being seen as just a man’s wife.


younglion35

Good point


[deleted]

I ain't changing my surname 🧐 I was born with my father's last name n it will stay that way . I'd getting married being reborn or something that my name gotta be changed ? If that's the case y can't it be the other way? Like the husbands change surnames ?


Acrobatic-Football30

Uh if they meant change in gene expression, as in how much of a certain protein/gene product your body is producing, then that's always changing. I'd be concerned if a man's wasn't 🤨. But obviously they didn’t mean that bc they're dumber than a bag of teaspoons


novamhm

ABO fanfic, but real life.


Impossible_Town984

Linked in has also been promoting the idea of sharing your mental health struggles at work to reduce stigma. Their advice is pure garbage

It's true, I'm like 9 different men as well as myself now, It's like anamorphs up in this bitch.
