wildestrangerNewly married Ashlee Simpson is changing her name to Ashlee Wentz in honor of her husband, Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz.
"I think that that's something that a woman should do when they're marrying a man," she tells PEOPLE. "It's a tradition that I think is a great tradition."
Seriously? A great tradition? You mean the tradition which declares that a woman who has been her father's property now becomes her husbands' property, that tradition? The one that says a woman's identity should depend on her husband?
I just lost what little respect I had for Ashlee Simpson. And the fact that Pete Wentz seems to think it's a great idea, something that gratifies him, makes me think a lot less of him as well.

Date: 2008-05-29 02:12 pm (UTC)I really like the Hispanic? Spanish? (I'm not quite sure where it all applies) tradition where men and women keep their names after they've married and their children's family name is a combination of their family names (they usually have double names and so you take the first part of the father's family name and the first part of the mother's family name and tadah! New family name for the baby.)
