[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand perfectly. 
Some traditions, such as those cherished by women, are valid.
Some traditions, such as those cherished by men, are misogynistic and antiquated.

Many women (not any one specific woman but lots and lots of them, maybe even most) actually get a little embarrassed in front of other women if their man doesn't open the car door for them, or get down on one knee to propose, or buy a sufficiently large engagement ring. When they get together, women want to be able to tell other women about the romantic way their man proposed, even if the man makes himself look silly doing it for her. They love it when men publicly demonstrate love and commitment to them. It shows just how devoted they are and how strongly they are invested in the relationship. If a man won't buy a sufficiently large rock, he must not really love her or think she's worth it. Again, not talking about any one woman specifically, just lots and lots of other women out there.

When men embrace the tradition of wives adopting their name as a public show of unity and commitment to the relationship, it's sexist.
