End time feminists, you people should avoid me, leave me alone, how does bearing my husband’s name make me less of a woman?
Kaestrings wife, Victoria Innocent, has spoken out against criticisms surrounding married women adopting their husbands’ names. In a recent conversation, Victoria recounted a phone call with a woman who questioned her decision to introduce herself as “Mrs Kaestrings” instead of using her first name.
The woman suggested that constantly identifying with her husband’s name could make her lose her identity.
Reacting to the comment, Victoria dismissed such views and questioned why some feminists appear uncomfortable with women publicly honoring their husbands.
According to Victoria, bearing her husband’s name does not make her less of a woman or diminish her individuality.
She expressed her feelings in a statement, saying:
“I was on a phone with this certain lady and I was like Hi, this is Mrs Kaestrings she then goes to say Ah ah Victoria is that you? You are supposed to say it is Victoria, why are you saying Mrs Kaestrings.
You have your name, you have your identity. You don’t have to go over using your husband’s name so you don’t lose yourself.
End time feminists you people should avoid me. Leave me alone. How does bearing my husband’s name make me less of a woman?
How does it relate. Am I not Mrs Kaestrings?
Why are feminists so pained when a woman is honouring her husband.
They feel you’re being weak.
Please you people should avoid me….”
