Real men give their wives their last names
Really? I came from a broke home and lived in garages, cars, and blankets on the lawn at 16. I spent time in juvenile hall during my late teens. I had my share of fist fights all along the way. I was in the Harley community way before it got popular (90's) while working at widget factories, and other odd jobs while living in a single room apartment.
I eventually joined the Navy and all that entails. Got out and took over a commercial business and developed two more.
Bottom line: I was as macho as a REAL man could be throughout my life, and not pretend. I never once thought my Wife of 20 years should take my surname. I didn't care at the time and still don't and it's a hassle to change all the documents.
We are partners in life and I don't give one shit what her last name is.
"Real men"? You have no clue what that means. Piss off.
