Well, I'm a firm believer in the idea of the woman taking the man's last name.  I don't believe it's sexist, and it should be encouraged.  Seriously, people (especially feminists) have gone overboard with the sexism issue, assaulting almost anything nowadays.

It's this kind of attitude that really makes me feel angry. I don't mind the people saying that this is not an issue to worry over, but when people say this practice should be encouraged.... urgh!

Earl, I really think you ought to occupy your mind with real problems.  Why spend your time thinking about a non-issue.

Seriously.  It's not a big deal, Earl!

Well, I have a set of values I believe in, and this is one I feel strongly about. Plus, I think it is more of an issue than perhaps you think it is. A name can mean a lot to a person, it is someone's definition. I just don't think it's right that one gender should lose their identity in marriage and the other gets to keep theirs. I'm proud to be a Washburn, and I will be proud to be a ___-Washburn when I get married Smiley

So how's this going to be with your grandchildren?  They'll have four or six hyphenated names as a surname?  But that's your probl-, I mean choice.
