Oh how we laughed at being called by our first names at school. Surnames for the boys though, because they get to keep theirs along with all OUR money upon marriage - of course that was when I was a girl.

Mind you, we'd got rid of dowries by then, but, if a dad was lucky, he might be able to 'give away' his daughter!

Things seem to have moved on since my girlhood. Now it seems it's the men that are the useless objects to be treated like inconvenient chattels. It's a shame the best thing women are perceived as being able to do with their new found LIBERTY is to spend THEIR MONEY and HARD EARNED TIME
SHOPPING.
