[quote=Anonymous]I think they think they do. But I don't think they all do or all do to the same extent.

I had this conversation today about changing last names when you get married. the man in this conversation asserted that he wanted his name to carry on and it was important. So then, sir, is it not important that your wife's name carry on? Not to him, no. Her name certainly was not important to him. Would you, sir, be willing to change your name to a neutral third name? No, indeed, because my name is important to me, but hypenation is ok. OK, sir, so you'd change your name from Joe Blow to Joe Blow-Smith? his response: OH, I'd have to change my name too?

Like ... her name and identity is entirely subservient to his name and identity. Why? It is tradition. Why don't you feel that your wife's name and identity is important? Tradition. Tradition of women being property, you mean? Of having no agency?

He just did not get it. This is somebody who treats women as equals, he is respectful. But still doesn't understand.[/quote]
