13. I think you missed my point.

There are plenty of women who choose to hyphenate their own surname with the surname of their spouse. There's nothing right or wrong about that; it's just a choice.

In this case, the name delineated the Hispanic name versus the (probably German ancestry) White name, making it obvious that this woman had chosen to use her husband's last name AND that she (herself) was Hispanic.

I live in Texas, and there is most assuredly and definitely a group of Christian White Nationalists who DO NOT want mixed marriages of any kind. Reminiscent of the 1950's and beyond. So this woman (a Trumper) is supporting the MAGA movement, and that movement is ultimately going to decry mixed marriages and shame her for marrying someone outside of her "category". My point was that she is a COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL for not realizing this.

The idea that unmarried mothers are being discriminated against is just another rung of the ladder that we are falling down. Public objections to mixed marriages won't be far behind in my opinion. Loss of financial independence for women is a possibility, too.

All Project 2025. Can't happen? Yeah, we are watching it happen right now.
