They were in their mid-twenties when they started having kids. It's not that old, honestly.

Also there's nothing wrong with taking your husband's last name, if that's what you honestly want to do.

Wrong. It reinforces a very deeply rooted form of patriarchy, which is harmful to everyone, especially as it's never questioned and always framed as a woman's "choice" and what "she honestly wants to do".

Wow, unreal. So you'd like to force women to keep their last names, even if that's not what they want?

I know a woman who is very excited to change her last name to her fiance's. Her father was abusive her entire life, so her last name holds negative feelings. She feels like her fiance has helped her to really overcome a lot and to start healing, and to her, taking his last name is symbolic of leaving her past behind and beginning a new life with her new awesome family.

But I guess that's just harmful patriarchy to you. How dare she.

Wrong.

Are you one of those people that also thinks that if you're a housewife, you automatically fail at feminism? There are a lot of reasons someone might want to take their husband's last name.

Ok. Let me see if I can process this. It's horrible if it even seems like society might be indirectly forcing me to take my husband's name, but it's perfectly fine for me to be forced to keep my own? In either scenario, the part that bothers me is that someone else is telling me what's "best for me". I'd like to think I'm capable of looking at both options and making the choice for myself, thank you very much.
