Why are women keeping their own last name in marriage? It's still the last name of a patriarch, their dad's last name

[/quote] Its not a matriarch society really. Id say its still half and half. It would probably be better if it was one or the other. [/quote] A matriarch society is a half/half society. It's not the same thing as patriarchy, but with women in charge. Women can't be free in a patriarchy because men double down on power. They have political power and physical. In a matriarch society men and women both have political power, it's necessary for freedom of all. They both have a voice in a matriarchial society. People may not want to change their name because they are used to the one they have. It's easy for men to judge because they are not expected to do this. It's the hyphenated names I roll my eyes at. Keep your last name, change it, I don't care. Just don't be a Smith-Johnson. [/quote] What's wrong with two names put together? Its absolutely fine since that is what the couple becomes in some cases. I don't think it will be a matriarch society not for another 100yrs plus. Mostly due to the fact that men do play on their " power" a lot and they know how to blame women everything very well. [/quote] Sorry correction , I meant to say blame women for everything . [/quote]

I used to date (bang) this little honey and she was a total bitch. We were young and she thought she was a feminist. She didn't know what it meant so she just acted like an asshole.
Anyway one day after class she was basking in the afterglow and started talking about marriage (yikes!) and she tried to be like I'm keeping my own last name if we get married. I was like what's the point, you're just preserving another man's family name. She kind of went cross-eyed and got all pissy about it. Then I said that's fine sweetheart. I knew there's no way in hell I'd be marrying her anyway.
My question is, don't women even think about the efforts of their own movement? Don't they realize that what should be the whole basis for keeping their own last name, which would be to create their own matriarchal line, is a failure? It's like they want to wish away that little detail.
If they were going to achieve their feminist agenda properly, then they should start anew and make up their own last name when they marry and change it entirely. That way they can shun their own family name, which is her father's, AND get away from taking a new patriarchal name.
