Good Motorcity hope to see you in our protest march soon
About the Naming issue, I agree. putting just the father's surname or the mother's only, would just been a discrimination.
I favor putting both parents names. As this child does inherite both from his mum and dad's background.
However I would say that this is not an urgent issue we have more dangerous discriminating laws that must be tackled before talking "technicalities"
It just reminds me how some KSA's women back in 1990 were asking for the right.... to drive! I mean their most elementary human rights are violated and all what these ladies were asking for was the right to .... Drive!

I just joined you in the other topic you launching when you said that this is our culture and we cannot change it.
The fact is that change has begun years ago as per this patriarchal culture belonging of kids. When you decide to share the father's culture solely with your child , you are depriving him/her from another sense of belonging. This would be reflected as the child grows up and starts asking question about this matriarchal cultural inheritance.
Your assumption which you approve is a result of a discriminating culture that the society is inheriting throughout the years. Yet this culture has changed and it will change furthermore.
Years ago women were not allowed to vote.............. as of 1952 they can.
Years ago women were not allowed to study................as of the late 40's they can
Years ago women were not allowed to choose their life partner.............. such folkways faded away.
Years ago women were not allowed to work.......................... and yet again, mores changed.
The List is long but we are still facing discrimination in some laws AND in the lebanese mentalities (like yours for instance lol)... A lot of work needs to be done.
Care to join us?
