[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many understandable reasons for a woman to keep her maiden name after marriage. However, I’m not sure it’s “fighting the patriarchy” to choose your dad’s surname over your husband’s surname. They are both men.[/quote] No, you're choosing your father's name over your father's in law. If I was already given my father's, why should I go a step further and take yet another man's? This isn't a perfect way to fight the patriarchy but it's in a better direction than taking your father in law's surname.[/quote]
