Ladies, how many of you changed your name after marriage?

@TLK

if men were treating women as their property, they would be expecting her to change her first name, not the last name.

Pets are properties so when you buy a cat from me and I was calling the cat Paws, you can call the cat Spots. That is what owning means. Lats name does not mean that now you own that person.

Then why call her “Mrs. someone”? In regular English, that is saying “Hey you! The person John Smith married.” If she has an identity of her known, she wouldn’t be “the person John Smith married” ALL THE TIME. If she doesn’t “belong” to the husband, why is being referred to as “someone’s wife” ALL THE TIME?

I wouldn’t have an issue with it if men agreed to change their names to their wives last names. Then we’d have equality, at least, even with loss of identity.
