Priscilla Chan Is Not “Mrs. Zuckerberg”
If you google “Mrs. Zuckerberg,” you’ll get 267,000 results! Not bad, except that they all refer to Priscilla Chan — not Mark’s mom, Karen. Priscilla Chan is keeping her name, and a lot of people can’t seem to understand that concept.
Americans still appear to be uncomfortable with women keeping their own last names. In the 2000s, only 18 percent of women kept their name after marriage. But the fact that America keeps assuming that she took her husband’s name is somewhat distressing: All of these Google hits lead to articles in which Chan is referred to as “Mrs. Zuckerberg,” “Mrs. Mark Zuckerberg,” and so on.
As a man, I don’t want my (hypothetical, future wife) to want to take my name. Having your own identity, and being proud of it, is hugely attractive, and there’s no reason that I could think of for why I would want to subjugate the identity of someone I love to my own. Self-identifying as a feminist means different things to different people, but to me, it requires fighting against what I think are antiquated behaviors.
This isn’t to say that I’m against women taking a man’s name, or men taking a woman’s name. It’s a personal decision. After all, it’s their name. And if the person in question, or the couple in question, thinks it’s legally/practically/emotionally/symbolically appropriate to join together under one last name, excellent. But the idea that a woman should ever feel pressured, or be required — or, in the case of Chan, be forced against her will, by the court of public ignorance — to fold herself into the identity of her husband is an idea that needs to die.

POOPBOOKS in the middle of the school library
AND THIS IS WHY COMMUNITY IS THE BEST SHOW
The world is shit. People treat each other badly. People die. Most folks are only in it for themselves. People are stupid. Things go wrong. You won’t always get what you want. Your happiness can be shattered at any time. People are abused and neglected by their families, and sometimes their friends.
But if you find something and someone and somewhere that you can love whole heartedly, the world becomes a little bit less dark, and you might come to find that the world is also beautiful. People are kind. People are born. Sometimes we sacrifice what we want for what others want. Things go right. Your goals might be realized. You can pull yourself out of the darkness. You could find family in your friends, and you can find people whom (through all of the suffering that the world has to offer) will carry you through it all. The duality of the world has everything to do with how you choose to experience it. You are not alone.
Try finding that message in your half hour sitcom.

I hope Barack Obama hears a good chemistry pun even though all the good ones argon.
