So it was recently announced that Prince William and Kate Middleton are to marry next year. Apparently, William went to Kate's father to ask for his permission and some people over at Jezebel are quite upset about this. They think it's too sexist and old fashioned. Fine, think what you like, but there's no reason to get angry over this. My husband asked my dad for permission (though he asked me if that was okay first). It's just a gesture and a tradition, no different from having the bride's father walk her down the ailse. Honestly, people who get really angry over things like this may be why a lot of people don't want to call themselves "feminists." In any case, who's to say that William didn't ask Kate if it was okay for him to ask her dad? If Kate was okay with it, then no one should be upset.
