[quote=Anonymous][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]

You know, I kind of felt the same way as you and didn’t give it a second thought. Then my gay BIL got married and suddenly nobody in the family had any problems writing out both partners last names on cards and invitations.

It’s misogyny, pure and simple.

If you’re so irritated with your friend’s name, then I suggest you solve this problem by simply not sending her a card. Respecting someone’s name is as basic as it gets. If you can’t do that, then you’re not actually friends. [/quote]

This is a great post and response to the previous jerk. [/quote]
