The XX Factor: What women really think.

Rodham Cowboy?

 God, what did we do before there was Feministing?

Today they point the way to funny little item about Sarah Michelle Gellar taking the last name of her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., as a five-year wedding gift. Yikes. Within minutes, I stumbled onto this odd column by Cary Tennis at Salon on the same subject—the feminist message behind taking your spouse's name. (And no, I was not cheating on you Emily ... ). All of which re-raised a question I haven’t heard answered to my satisfaction: When the Rodham fell out of Hillary Clinton’s name, did it help? Was it an anniversary gift to Bill? I doubt it.
