[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I changed my name because I wanted to have the same name as my children and wanted to be part of the same team as my husband. It seems weird to me when a woman doesn't change her name. It's like she's married but with a foot out of the marriage. It also seems to be disrespectful to her husband. I bet if they married someone they looked up to they would have changed their surname. [/quote]

I see what you did there. It's almost as you think that men and women are interchangeable. They're not. We're pretty egalitarian, but they play different roles in the courting process and marriage as well. Men choose a woman to marry, they buy her a ring, provide for her so being appreciative and taking his last name is the least thing you could do.[/quote]
