I am shocked by the low media coverage of the Civil Registration Bill. Some outrages in the streets, but there is no denying that many affected by the imposition on the alphabet have so far paid very little attention to the discrimination suffered by more than half of the population.

Prior to this bill, the father ' s surname had precedence over the mother ' s. Since 1999, if there was consent, there was no problem but in its absence, in all cases where the father’s surname was prioritized. That is to say, the right of women to give their children their surname, the right, but it was based on the “will” of the father, who would be able to exercise the possible equality of rights thanks to him. A man’s/father’s permission is required to put “our” surname. It was incredible to me that such outdated and macho measures were still visible, but once again I was seen as a curious person every time I brought up this topic.

I felt even more curious when I saw them complaining about the Civil Registry bill in the face of the scandal that some people’s surname might disappear. Now the issue of surnames is important. The alphabet criterion does not seem right to me and probably the German currency system will be the most fair, but has no one thought that we were facing a gender crush so far? This issue has highlighted the double standards of those who said that the priority of surnames was of no importance. It was not significant as they put up their own, although many mothers have not even tried to put up their surname, nor to convince their father, so I have begun to doubt that my claim, rather than the collective, is not personal.

But that doesn’t discourage me from confirming that prioritizing my father’s surname is a historical imposition. In 2010, equality between women and men is a subject that has not been overcome, and the fact that mothers want to give their surname should not be a matter for some “crazy feminists”. In any case, I doubt that the basis of most couples who have agreed to give the child the surname of the mother can be read in the code of equality, or that some have used this “progressive” option to carry out two mandates by the way. I admit, I am Alkorta, the beneficiary of the bill, but that the erratic criterion of the alphabet does not negate the basis of the discrimination of the priority of surnames.
