As a woman, she doesn’t take pride in her name? It’s such a weird statement for him to make. & on top of that he continues being really rude by pushing the issue after she said no.

She should take him on a trip to Sweden 🧸 ~_^

That’s my new plan for every man who wrongs me.

I filed for divorce the literal day before I saw this movie and I am all about this energy right now.

he basically means he takes pride in it as the patriarchy tells him to. many men assume women don't gaf about their names. it's weird, but welcome to the patriarchy, i guess.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I hate this expectation that women should be totally fine with giving up their identity after 20/30/40/however many years and just be subsumed into a man's life. And it's so ingrained in our culture that so many women will do it without a second thought, as if who they are and what they've done and their family and legacy mean absolutely nothing when compared to a man's and then write it off as 'yeah, but that's just what's done. I can't not do it' or whatever heteronormative patriarchal bullshit they've been told and are telling themselves.
