It's not mutually exclusive.

Okay. 😂

Paying women less for doing the same job as a man did, didn't sound wrong to people, 30-40 years ago.

"Oh, she's only a woman, she shouldn't get paid the same".

How does that sound in 2025? Times change.

Thanks for this laugh! It would make it easy, wouldn't it.

Gosh now I'm thinking back when I was married it was required to take a blood test. Anyone remember that? To make sure we weren't closely related.

Thank you so much! I'm turned off by paying an attorney to help me with this. I know there are many details to keep track of if I do change my name. I will check at the courthouse first step, thank you!
