Because as the article even states in history a man taking the last name of the woman means the woman is higher up the hierarchy than than man. The man is admitting he is a Beta. One of the more notorious examples was the husband of Elizabeth Báthory, the most prolific serial killer in history, took her name because the Bathorys were one of the most powerful families in Hungary.

Because nobody wants to be like Donny Hendrix.

Why don’t more LEfties OD?

[proxy_user]

There’s something to be said for taking the best name. Who wants to be a Sammenfink when you can be a Barrett?

[Delta 21]

Because we aren’t pussies.

There are way too many cupcakes in this world if they agree to take their wife’s last name. It’s also an insult to your family as a man to change your name as you are in charge of carrying that name on through your family tree.

Then again, if progressives want to show they are bigger patsies than we think they are, by all means, let them do so. Just proves the point easier.

[rktman]

Same reason more husbands do NOT wear pussyhats. Too busy getting the job done.

[Olog-hai]

Used to be that there were no family names, and what is perceived as a last name by us was actually the name of the father, with “son of” either preceding or following that name. Still done that way in Iceland.

I don’t recognize fake homo unions.

Because the man’s job is to LEAD, not be dominated.

We had a young man do this in our Church recently. His wife is a wonderful young lady who is from a wonderful family. Dad is a extremely nice, retired Brig. General from the Army, Mom is just one of God’s gifts to humanity...both the kind of folks you are glad to have in your life.

While I would not call the young man an ‘Alpha’, he seems like a very nice guy, he loves his wife dearly, and I think he just wanted to be part of their family.

I know nothing of his family life.

I have no problem with women who keep their original last name, especially if she uses that name to make money. People with hyphens and spaces in their names are a pain in the a**. Which last name do you use? The Mexicans use the “first” last name and the feminazis use the “second” last name. Which name are you using today? I would never, ever take a trip on airplanes or cross international borders with anybody who has multiple identities.

[clintonh8r]

This is the kind of sht that first world libtards lose sleep over.....

[bmwcyle]

Because they don’t want endless jokes from their friends.

The only guy I know who did this was a Japanese guy. There were no male children in his wife’s family, so he took their name in order to continue their family name. Surely a noble gesture, but not common in the west.

same-sex couples have no analogous default

Probably because they aren't really married, no matter what some sad bureaucrat paper pusher hands them.

Hispanics usually have two last names or “apellidos.” The first surname is their father’s surname (known as the “apellido paterno”), and the second surname is their mother’s maiden name (the “apellido materno”). Some examples:

Juan García Reyes
or
Juan García y Reyes

Carla Rodriguez Calderón
or
Carla Rodriguez y Calderón

I see nothing wrong with this long standing custom.

Take my wife...please!

same-sex couples have no analogous default

Same sex "couples" need to quit dedicating their lives to perversion and delusion.
