I simply cannot understand why any man would want to tag his name onto a woman’s or why any woman would allow it. Neither do I understand why any grown woman would take the name of a person she just met weeks, days, months, or a few years ago.

Humans are named by parents/legal guardians at birth and raised accordingly. No adult person thereafter is responsible for shaping another human but said human. Identity should be solidied prior to any nuptials and should never be up for discussion or edit.

Please miss me with the misplaced misogyny and patriarchy.

We grown and formed over here.
