[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd never say anything but secretly I think less of women who change their names.[/quote]

And you are part of the problem.  Why does it matter to you?[/quote]

Because their actions affect all of us.  When some women continue to bow to sexist traditions, other women are expected to follow suit.[/quote]

Honey, you need to look up the meaning of “sexist.”  I am sure [b]you[/b] find “sexism” just about everywhere you look.  
I was PROUD to take my husband’s name.  It was symbolic of us coming together as a family.  It is also easier when you have children - we all have the same last name, at least for now. 
It is tradition, and evidently, most women agree.

[quote]While a majority of respondents think women should have a choice in the matter, most ended up taking their husband's last name when it came to their personal decision. Sixty percent of the women polled legally changed their surname to their husband's name, 11 percent of women kept their maiden name and only 8 percent opted to hyphenate or otherwise combine their maiden name with their husband's name. (The remaining 23 percent of women have never married.)[/quote][/quote]
