This is a good time to remember that feminism has killed far more people than the atomic bomb.

It is perhaps the most destructive force in human history.

Feminism's status as a historically destructive force is clear as day.

Once more, I find myself on the defensive side of the ball in this cancellation, though as always the objective is to make a play,

get the turnover, put the offense on defense.

That's why I'm playing in the dime right

now, six DBs on the field, free safety back deep, ready to grab the pick, kind of losing track

of the point I was trying to make with this analogy. Anyway, the point is this weekend. I was again

the subject of outrage, and this is embarrassing for me as someone who's normally quite meek

and gentle and non-confrontational, prefers to shrink away from the spotlight. I also consider myself to be a people-pleaser.

And I have other diluted ideas about my own personality, but we won't continue down that path right now.

What upset the internet this time is a discussion that began on this podcast on Friday.

I read a comment from a listener during the reading the comments segment of the show,

where he asked whether his fiance's refusal to take

his name upon marriage should be considered a red flag. And I said that not only is it a red flag,

but it's a deal breaker. As a man, I would not marry a woman who didn't want to share my name.

I would recommend that other men draw the same line. Now, I repeated this point on Twitter later that afternoon.

Everything that followed is therefore really the fault of the listener who brought this subject up.

I hope you're happy, sir. Look at what you've done. This is on you. So over the course of the next three

days, a familiar chain of events followed. Thousands of people, very upset that I would suggest

that women ought to take their husband's name.

The fact that I would call this issue a deal breaker was all the more abhorrent to the outrage
