I understand what Xenalyte is saying. She used hyperbole to express an idea that has a grain of truth. How are we ever going to get the pendulum to swing back to traditional roles for marriage if women don't want to fully honor their promise of commitment to a husband?
Hyphenating your name says a lot about how you feel about your spouse. He's not good enough to fully claim you as his wife? You're going to make your own name and then dump him?
