[quote=Anonymous]My mom didn't change hers, so I thought that was the default until I learned otherwise! (My parents have been married for 40+ years and they still have to correct people on this front.) My sister and I have both their last names, and we both kept them when we got married. I would never fault an individual person for choices about their own name. It just bothers me out, on the broad scale, that there is a default based on gender that 80% of people still adhere to. It also sucks for men who don't like their last name, or maybe want some distance from their family of origin – but feel they can't make a change without drawing tons of unwanted attention/criticism.[/quote]
