Debbie Does Drivel

A woman called into the Dr. Laura show yesterday, telling of her son and his new wife, who are making up a new surname because the wife didn't want her new husband's name imposed on her (and vice versa).
So, rather than agreeing to hyphenate or decide on one last name over the other, they are making up a new last name.
I think this is stupid.
If you are a feminist and don't want to take your husband's name, that's fine. I understand this.
But why don't you then concentrate on ACTING like a feminist, instead of getting wrapped around the axle and spending your important feminist time making up nonsense names?
I'm so put out by people who pour all this time into proving a point by inane gestures like this, rather than making a point by behavior and action.
You know, do something that really moves you forward: Rally. Lobby. Open a business.
But sit around with your new husband and brainstorm a made-up last name? Where does this lead?
A bitch slap by Dr. Laura, that's all.
