Quote from Lucy Gillam

"True gender equality is actually perceived as inequality. A group that is made up of 50% women is perceived as being mostly women. A situation that is perfectly equal between men and women is perceived as being biased in favor of women. And if you don’t believe me, you've never been a married woman who kept her family name. I have had students hold that up as proof of my 'sexism.' My own brother told me that he could never marry a woman who kept her name because 'everyone would know who ruled that relationship.' Perfect equality – my husband keeps his name and I keep mine – is held as a statement of superiority on my part."
