What happened to that, I wonder. This post just made me think of the civil union/gay marriage debate and the “sanctity of marriage.” What happened to that, I wonder.

Throwing the Schindler in as a middle name would have made slight sense, to draw the connection to the parents who obviously have a different last name. But adding the hyphen? First, it's a fucking invention on their part. It didn't appear anywhere that I've seen before and seems not to exist on any official documents. And as a commenter above notes, these same jackasses would probably normally look askance at any "independent, feminist" who would hyphenate their name. Of course hypocrisy isn't stopping them trampling all over the sanctity of marraige in this case either. Yeah, I noticed that this morning for the first time.

Damn those independent women--except when their innovations can be used to take away their right to self-determination. Man, is there nothing they won’t encroach on?

These are the same type of people who criticize me for not taking my husband's name. Now they're in favor of keeping one's maiden name? Oh, the irony.
