name change
Women often debate whether to take their husband's last name upon marriage. Shouldn't men have a right to ask for it back upon divorce?
Why are modern women so willing to give up their names, or to change them?
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Yes, Blackwater is no more. Now they are "Xe." And what does "Xe" mean? Who the hell knows? But who says private contractors can't show their impressionistic and abstract side?
I applaud Blackwater for not pulling a Prince and changing their name to a symbol. Though I must admit, it would have been fun calling them "The Mercenaries Formerly Known As Blackwater."
My birth name is Anglo, an English-Irish term that does not line up with my obviously, shall we say, ethnic appearance. I didn't like the name because it was too white. It didn't fit me.
A name is forever, once it's been indexed in Google. But what is a woman to do when she gets married? It's a feminist 2.0 dilemma.
