Taking a man’s last name is not treating a woman as “chattel.”

It is the woman honoring the man’s position in the house.

If my wife would not take my name, I wouldn’t have married her. I would view that as extreme disrespect. I feel the same way about hyphenated names. ‘Pod.

I do NOT intend to dismiss the notion of taking of the man's name. BUT because of my ancestry searches I keep hitting dead ends because the woman's lineage disappears unless there is special care to record her family.

Amen! Me too!

Like in the feminist Bible: “There is a way that seemeth right unto a women, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Proverbs 14:12 and 16:25)

“Wherefore, as by one women sin entered into the world, and so death by sin; so death passed upon all women, for that all have sinned.” (Romans 5:12)

[I confess I made that up; you just replace men with women, and you have a feminist Bible]
