[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smith Jones family or just get over yourself bc you are the Jones family. No one else in your family has Smith, and unfortunately our society has no good way of doing names that does not reinforce the patriarchy. You, yourself, even gave in and named your kids after their dad only. So, while it's great to keep your maiden name, asserting it on the Xmas card is unnecessary. No one will forget you are a strong, independent woman. [/quote] But this is all factually untrue. We are not the "Jones Family" because at least one person in our household is not named Jones. And there is a "good way of doing names that does not reinforce the patriarchy". Many of those options have been listed on this thread: Jones/Smith is one perfectly fine one. Why is this difficult for people and why do they have some much anger about the rational, egalitarian choices made by others? [/quote]
