    Last names are inherently patriarchal

    They’re worse, they’re inherently capitalistic. They were made to promote someone’s business or trade in the days just after the Black Plague when skilled workers were highly sought-after.

    If you live in America or Europe, your last name is an advertisement. That’s all they’ve ever been.
