Married women with 2 last lames.

The question is, why does she want to kep her original name?  If it's for a legitimate practical reason, fine, no problem.  If it's just to make some kind of bullshit feminist statement, that's not the kid of girl I'd marry.  If she gets a chip on her shoulder over the whole name thing, just imagine what she'd be like with more important things.

thats fine and whatever sets your sail is good for you and I can see where your coming from, I dont really see how her not takeing your last name correlates with her actions on any other important things? It seems that you have a chip on your shoulder about the name thing, so are you going to act different. Heres my question why does it bother you so much that she wants to keep her name or hyphenate her name? She already changes her name from miss to mrs. to indicate marraige, so is it out of tradition or b/c you want the public to know that she is married to you?

Simple... I don't find radical feminists the least bit appealing.  If you do, hey whatever floats your boat.

lol you avoided the question all together, Im not saying how you feel is wrong, just trying to understand why you feel that way and I dont buy this reason i think its a cop out. Your metaphorically covering your ears and stomping your feet. If you feel this way then you must be ok with the the atrocities and degradation done to women in islamic cultures after all its their tradition and women not wanting to cover their faces and other offenses against society are seen as radical feminist to them as well

Nice try at an ownage, but everyother post seems to be on my side.  As far as dominace, you're the one that seems to have a problem with dominace.  Asking a woman to adhere to tradition is far from any kind of domination. 

wasnt trying to own you. i guess thats part of the reason i dislike the concept of marriage. it's so business-like. if i find someone that i truly love, i dont need a marriage certificate or a ring on my finger to know that i want to spend the forseeable future with them.
