But not in.
Sorry brother, we’d have to take our ARs out to the range, give praise to the God Almighty, and talk smack about the democrats to prove me wrong. ;^)
Yes i do!
No, often it’s professional people who have degrees in their own name and have established themselves.
Liberals only jumped on to something that sounded cool, conservative successful women have been keeping their own names for 40 years. To me the hyphenated stuff is silly but people make their own choices.
It’s a cultural thing. Women in other cultures - Spain, most Latin American countries, and a large number of other places throughout the world - don’t change their last names. And here in the US women often don’t change their last names, not because they are making some kind of feminist statement, but because they are already known by the birth names in their professional sphere. It’s very complicated to redo all of that stuff, and more complicated still to hyphenate or add another last name. So this has nothing to do with elderly bra-burners. Generally, the child still has the father’s last name.
LOL
Any woman who won’t take their Husbands last name isn’t worth marrying.
Any broad that tells me I need to put the seat down is going to have to quickly reassess her whole situation.
Lucy Stone, a suffragette in Massachusetts spurred the start of the movement for women to retain their birth names when in 1855 she married and refused to use her husband’s name. In doing so, she was denied the right to vote in an 1879 Massachusetts school board election, according to a Marquette Law Review.
Another notable figure in the fight to keep maiden names was Frances Perkins, the first woman appointed to the U.S. Cabinet. In 1913, Perkins married Paul Caldwell Wilson, and chose to keep her maiden name for career reasons. In The Woman Behind the New Deal: The Life and Legacy of Frances Perkins, Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, author Kirstin Downey writes that the move spurred resentment from social conservatives, and it became a public news story.
“I suppose I had been somewhat touched by feminist ideas and that one of the reasons that I kept my maiden name,” Perkins once said in an interview. “My whole generation was, I suppose, the first generation that openly and actively asserted – at least some of us did – the separateness of women and their personal independence in the family relationship.

Back around that time, when it was pretty clear we would marry, my wife said to me, "Does it matter to you if I take your name?". To which, I replied, "Does it matter if we get married?".
I was mostly, but not completely, joking, but she took my name and changed her middle name to her maiden name.
Our 40 years puts the lie to your assumption.
I think the point that men pretend not to understand is that women often have to get to the bathroom in a hurry, especially after a few children. The extra time to play with the seat is not there.
After that my ear’d be screaming so we’d be even.
.7 seconds. Just saying.
Have 4 kids then talk to me.
MGTOW.
There you will find true peace of mind.
I learned this in the 80’s.
I am an early adopter...
I have 4 kids. All girls. ;^)
Not at all, and I should know.
Sometimes our families have hyphenated names.
Congrats. 3 boys, 1 girl. Seats in our house down unless in use.
I’m curious. My wife and I married in 1977. She took my last name. We have been married, mostly happily, for over 40 years. You say you were married in 1975 and both kept your names assigned at birth, but only had 39 wonderful years together. Did you have 3 miserable years? I’m just curious.
