Women who call themselves feminists but still insist on changing their name to their husband’s need to do better. We deserve a generation of people that carry their mother’s name.

You’re also forgetting that, for almost all of our mothers, their name still comes from a man…

The coolest last name wins imo

And to add to this, I think it should be a discussion between the two partners and what they want to do. Not just the default wife takes husbands name. There’s so many options for couples to choose. Heck they can pick a totally different last name for both!

So why did you come after *women* who *actively want* to change their last name to their husband’s last name? It sounds like you are only okay with a woman’s decision when it lines up with what you think a woman should do.

I literally said it should be a mutual decision. And I’m not “only ok” if it lines up with what I’d like. I just think it would be cool if more husbands took wives last names or they picked something new, or better yet, combined both their names.

True but those are still the names we’re born with. The cycle can’t change if no one’s willing to change it.

You said “women who insist on changing their name to their husband’s need to do better”. If your main point was that women can choose to do other things, you wouldn’t be putting down women for choosing to change their last names.
