Hi,

I just noticed that the default security question for the APA website  
is "what is your mother's maiden name?"  I've repeatedly requested  
that banks require a password for me and not that information, since  
(a) my mother's maiden name is my last name, (b) this is really easy  
information to find out about someone and (c) I detest the  
patriarchal and heterocentrist notion that a woman gets married,  
takes on her husband's last name, and then has children.  I know in  
the past FEAST has contacted the APA and had good success in getting  
these sorts of things changed.  Does anyone have any suggestions as  
to where I go from here, or am I just being pedantic?
