This ones kinda funny. Changing the name definitely has its roots in patriarchy but at the same time it doesn't sound exactly feminist to tell J. Lo what to do

Quote
Whether or not to take a spouse’s name is a personal decision. But the personal is political — now more than ever, and especially for celebrities. Like every star, or every mortal with an Instagram account, Ms. Affleck has constructed a persona for public consumption. She has used her platforms to tell the tale of the upward trajectory of a strong, independent woman, a woman who has gone from backup dancer to global superstar. Her brand is intense competence and hard-core self-sufficiency — “in control and loving it,” as she sings in “Jenny From the Block.” Whoever Jennifer Affleck is in her private life, J. Lo is a woman who might love a man but doesn’t need one.

Imagine if, in her newsletter, she had said, “I love my husband. Right now, though, women are under attack, and I won’t participate in a tradition that’s historically rooted in women relinquishing their identities and their legal standing. I’m giving my husband my heart, but I’m keeping my name.” Imagine if Ben Affleck had become Ben Lopez.

Why would you give a shit what someone you don't know does with their last name after marriage?

Maybe your Jordan Peterson types were right about modern feminism being a waste of time if these are the battles they have left to fight :society

It's such a wild claim with no real historical context. Every society on earth was built by people who worked through some form of sickness. I've been sick and gone to work before, pre-covid/WFH. Slight runny nose? Headache? Sore throat? That's not "urgency," it's understanding when you're fucked and when you aren't fucked. Biden himself said the symptoms were mild and looked/sounded good in the video he released. If he wants to work (from home lol) he should.

I'd be far more receptive to an argument about toxic masculinity when it comes to working while sick/injured, not going to the doctor when you should etc. That's a real thing, although certainly not what Biden is doing.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-25/nrl-manly-facing-player-revolt-over-pride-jersey/101268552

Quote
Several Manly players are considering boycotting Thursday night's match with the Sydney Roosters over the Sea Eagles' decision to wear a gay pride jersey in the fixture.

The Sea Eagles announced on Sunday night that they would wear an LGBTQIA+ jersey for the match, with a rainbow design replacing the strip's white hoops.

But that decision has caused some unrest among players who are unhappy they were not consulted by club management.

Kieran Foran, Reuben Garrick and Sean Keppie were among those to help launch the strip but other players claim they learned about the move over social media on Sunday night.

Their concerns relate to questions that could arise from within their respective cultures.

Manly's management were to meet over the issue on Tuesday but that was set to be rushed forward to Monday night.

Club great Ian Roberts, who in 1995 became the first rugby league player to come out as openly gay, told The Daily Telegraph he was disappointed by the response of the players not willing to wear the jersey.

"I try to see it from all perspectives but this breaks my heart," Roberts said.

"It's sad and uncomfortable. As an older gay man, this isn't unfamiliar. I did wonder whether there would be any religious push back.

"That's why I think the NRL have never had a pride round.

"I can promise you every young kid on the northern beaches who is dealing with their sexuality would have heard about this."

Manly is a rich upper class suburb in Northern Sydney.

Rugby League is a working class game.

A huge majority of the players in the league are Pacific Islanders from conservative religious backgrounds (Mormons and the like). Manly has more than a few Pacific Islanders in their team.

Manly decides to launch the jersey exclusively using blokes that look like this:


But they didn't bother consulting with or even telling the guys that look like this:



And now they are stuck in a situation where "several" players are refusing to wear the jersey and most likely won't play in the next game.

This has got some real culture war vibes.

"Rather than being a kingdom fighting for pan-African unity and resistance to foreign invasion, in truth the conflicts depicted centered around the slave trade. The Kingdom of Dahomey was heavily invested in capturing and selling Africans slaves."

Damn, I guess we're not that different after all.

ok that's not the twist I expected. It looks pretty much like someone wanted to capture the same energy as Black Panther but make it historical, which is a cool idea, but I guess reality is a bit more complicated.
