[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think women who don't change their names are missing a chance to slow love and respect for their husbands and are making it easier for themselves to get divorced in the future.

I think it's a wonderful gesture that women do for their husbands.

I understand why women of DCUM wouldn't like it because most of you are cheating or planning divorces, based on the threads I read here.[/quote]

It is also a wonderful gesture husbands could do for their wives.  But they don’t do it, why? [/quote]

Well, due to the nature of two people combining to form one family, it makes sense to pick one name. Unless we want to have generations with two names, four names, eight names, etc...

Of course, world history, patriarchy, etc etc are the reasons that the tradition of taking the man's name is the one that took hold.

But my answer for why husbands don't do it today is because that would put them in the .00001% of men that take their wives' names and would leave them open to be laughed at by people behind their backs for basically looking like a ... bitch.

Whereas when a woman takes her husband's name, this just makes her one of the normal 95+% (nation-wide) and no one thinks twice about it.[/quote]
