i believe women should hyphenate or keep their last name when you get married. it doesn't sit right with me that we abandon our literal identity for a man

I think we should both amalgamate our names like if you have Smith and Robinson it should be Robinsmith

I’m also just hyphenating because I love my family so much and legit could never drop their name

fr and i don’t even like when women hyphenate their names and men don’t? i feel like the agreement should be for the couple to 1. pick whoever’s last name is cooler, 2. pick a cool last name they both agree on, or 3. not change their last names. The expectation fora women to take on a last name is incredibly misogynistic idk lol

Well, technically isn’t our identity inherited from a man

If you consider DNA then we have wayyy more DNA coming straight from our mom than from our dad (mitochondrial DNA.) Yes our sex comes from sperm but that's just one chromosome out of 46.
