If I were ever to get married (God help my husband, I mean, wusband) I’d take his last name solely for the fact that mine throws everyone through a loop. I’ve only had ONE person out of everybody I’ve ever met (outside of my family of course) pronounce my name right.

I’m not kidding. It’s German, and while it’s spelled like an English word, it’s pronounced completely different.

Isn’t she propagating gender stereotypes herself, by saying that her husband is “like a wife” in the fact that he does laundry, and she is “like a husband” in the fact that she leaves socks laying around?  This Sloan woman sounds like the kind of nightmare that makes actually progressive people look bad.

That’s absolutely ridiculous but hilarious all the same. Hife and Wusband <—makes me burst out laughing.

What a revolutionary!

Seriously, why get married if you find the term “wife” and “husband” so oppressive? I can see where she’s coming from, but why not call him your “partner” instead? Or how about just “Chuck” or whatever?

Also, to be a bit of a nitpick, Wendy, when you say it bothers you when an ‘able-bodied’ person takes the elevator up one flight of stairs, I think you should let up a bit. When I tore my ACL in 2006, about 2 weeks later I was standing in line to get coffee. I dropped some trash on the ground, but I knew I couldn’t bend down to get it without falling over. This girl behind me in line gave me the nastiest look, picked it up for me, and made a big show of throwing it in the trash can while glaring at me. So yeah, you don’t know if someone’s being lazy or is actually injured by looking at them.
