When I was a kid I asked my parents why women change their last names when they get married. They gave me the various reasons why a woman would do that and I remember even at the time thinking all of those reasons were kind of lame. Okay, if you want to change your name to be a "couple" why is it by default his name? I declared that I was fine with my husband changing his last name to mine if he wanted, but I liked my last name and didn't think marriage was an occasion to part with something I liked.

I didn't view it as some huge feminist concept, I was a kid, I didn't even know about feminism. It just didn't make enough sense to be worth all the effort it took to do something like that.

WELP. Fast forward to now with the SAVE act being passed by pretty much everyone and is now on its way to the Senate it sure seems like that choice was a smart one. I cannot fucking believe we are living in a country where millions of women are about to be disenfranchised like this.

Quick notes:

The bill would require everyone registering to vote or updating their registration information to present documentary proof of citizenship in person. - That means if you move, you have to re-register in person with all of the same documentation to prove that you are a citizen.

As many as 21.3 million U.S. citizens — more than 9% of voters — do not have such documents readily available, and over 3.8 million people — around 2% of voters — don’t have any form of proof. (Source)

This law does not even other to specify what documents count as proving citizenship, and they require that all the names match in every document. See how this is affecting people who changed their last names? Predominately women? Like... oh I don't know, about 69 million women?

Don't come at me with voter fraud bullshit. I have no patience for idiotic repeating of shit you heard on Fox or tRump or some bullshit you keep watching on Tik Tok. Voter fraud is rare and certainly doesn't justify what this horseshit bill is about to do.
