Notes:

Sorry, early today!

Also: I'm not going to officially warn for tongue-in-cheek "triggers" just to provide anyone with a fandom-specific in-joke when there are none in the secret.

I feel the same. I have a problem with it in real life too, though.

Not that it's any of your business what other people choose to do.

It's not a choice if it's required of women to change their names. Not everyone lives in the US.

Where I live any woman who doesn't change her last name to her husband's once she's married to him is seen as a troublemaker, a bitch who wants to spit on tradition and "family values".+

Getting pressured into changing your name - yes, that squicks me the fuck out and it's unfair that men do not have to face this shit. Especially since 90% of the men I know wouldn't change their names to their wife's. It's seen as degrading and our culture backs them up on that.

NA

In the most recent comment, it sounds like you're saying, "Every time I observe an instance of a woman taking her husband's name, it reminds me of how fucked up gender relations are in my area, and that upsets me." That seems reasonable to me.

Saying merely that something squicks you in real life could be taken to mean as "I don't think any woman should take her husband's name anywhere for any reason ever." That's not so reasonable, and might inspire people to say it's none of your business.

Your original comment doesn't explain that you're against women being FORCED to change their last name. Totally reasonable and I agree wholeheartedly.

Instead it implies that you think it's wrong for ANY woman to take her husbands name for ANY reason. Which is unreasonable.
