Offensive article; the usual deck about how marriage is somehow demeaning to women. Nonsense; my husband treats me like a queen even when times are tough. I could not imagine my life without him.
I am proud to have my husband’s last name.
First thing we did after marriage was join our accounts. We are a family!
Happily married for 26 years.
I’ve noticed that when a woman doesn’t take her husband’s name, she’s usually a liberal.
Same here. We have joint bank accounts and our own separate bank accounts. It has been that way for 42 years.
“Seven in 10 women think there is a societal pressure for women to become subordinate by taking their husband’s last name after getting married.”
Oh yeah, their offspring carries the fathers DNA and thus his last name which is why paternity test can id him as the father but not her as the mother.
*sob*
Equalize what happens in family court and maybe I’ll listen
In Japan, very traditional, men work, make the money, give money to wife. ...wife takes care of all things domestic. ..and the wife then gives the man a allowance. ...many times my salaryman friends would borrow money mid month because they’d spend their allowance too quickly. ......in Japan, the men think they rule. ....only because the women let them think that. ...it works well for them. ...
“All that I am
All that I have
All that I will be is yours
For as long as we both may live”
I’m Italian and when I visit our ancestral home in Sicily, that name pops up once in a while in the inland region before crossing to the island. Yeah, not a lot of Americans can pronounce it and it’s not exactly rare for a name.
So, is your last name smith-Smith?
....ducking
BS
Wonder how these same women feel about a prenup?
I don’t have any checking accounts - they were all lost in a tragic boating accident.
Brrrr...that's brutal! LOL
Once again, the internet has all answers. Here is an article that explains the customs for many countries...

My wife honored me by taking my surname, that’s the way I look at it, and I was thrilled she did.
LOL!
Typical feminazi drivel. She paints marriage as a contract between two adversarial parties, one of which has a natural upper hand over the other.
I can only think of such people as useful idiots of the New World Order, who seek to hollow out the foundational strength of the citizenry.
Destroy the family, and you destroy culture. In the end, what they really want is a docile, malleable, and obedient work force.
When I married, I hyphenated my name and my Husband’s last name as I had been in my career for 10 years and I didn’t want to lose all my contacts, worldwide. That worked out well, but the rest of it has been a Royal pain in the rear end. I tell younger women, that it wasn’t worth it for me, they may decide it is important to them. Now retired, my healthcare is tied in to my maiden name and it is not easy to deal with all the paperwork for health, etc......just my humble opinion.
We'd been living together for several years, and it was clear we were going to get married. My wife (then to be) asked, "Is it important to you that I take your name?," in a light tone of voice. I jokingly replied, "Is it important that we get married?"
She took my name.
