If hoards of men started taking their wives surnames, it would be an unfortunate and perhaps irreversible step towards a matriarchal goddess culture, which blows for guys because those cultures used to routinely kill male infants and treat males like slaves. In a world where there are already very few incentives for men to get legally shackled, this is one slippery slope I wouldnt want to slide down.
Yes. That's right. If men start taking women's last names in marriage, we'll regress back to a time when infanticide was acceptable. Furthermore, all of those laws and the fact that we've evolved to a point where talking about slavery evokes disbelief and disgust will not save men from the wrath of the goddess women who want to control everything because they also happen to like their own names and want to keep them.
Listen, Im a feminist. But we have to draw the line somewhere. Equal rights shouldnt come at the cost of upending all established conventions. Why get married at all if you dont want to embrace the related traditions?
"Equal rights have to stop somewhere."
I cant even dignify this question with an answer. Whatever.
You're a special kind of winner. -
f---. I had quotation marks around the quotes. Gotoquiz doesn't like my quotation marks.

Every other passage, starting at the first, was a quote from the thing.

"I really hope to because 1. The patriarchy ain't gonna f--- itself, and 2. Not really fond of my family name."
haha omc I love this guy -
It would be interesting if the husband did take the wife's last name. My mother always signs her name with both her maiden and married surnames (Russell, married; Williams, maiden).

"Why is it so weird to have a guy take the last name of a woman in an opposite sex marriage?
I mean... what do you think happens in a same sex marriage? Do men just fight to the death over who gets to keep their name? Do women just insist that their partner keep their name?
Why would you care? This is so misogynistic." -
Good point. Perhaps they maintain their own surnames in same-sex marriages.
