A woman that won't take your name when she marries is not worth marrying.



And a man that insists his wife takes his name isn't either

Really? Maybe the man wishes the family to all have the same last name. I would think if your gonna start a family you would want you wife to have the same last name as you and your kids.

My wife tried to hassle me on this issue because she has an ethnic name and wanted to keep it alive (as if this particular name was dying out). My motto was "good enough my Mom, good enough for you." I told her I would rather name my son "Pedro" than put up with a hyphenated last name. After the wedding she dropped the issue and decided she liked sticking with tradition.

I alway's refer to my friend's lovely bride like the old guy on "King of the Hill," as in:

Hey "Scott's Wife" how about another beer?

Of course, I always refer to him as Mr. (her last name).

You may want to be weak and bow down to feminism and the PC police; I will not. It's worked for 5000 years, somehow I highly doubt that feminazi socialists of the 20th Century possessed enough wisdom to justify a change in tradition.

But you are welcome to it. If that makes me a chauvanist sexist, I'm proud to be one then.
