Because we live in a patriarchy. There's not a good solution though, since hyphenating dozens of surnames will never fly.
Yes it is. If you have a problem. then don have kids and dont marry.
Tradition I guess...
I won't mind if my son had my wife's name, it doesn't make him who he is, and doesn't really matter to me...
Biblical , we tell time based on Jesus' birth , there are 7 days in a week because of the bible.
The same reason slaves were given their owner's last name.
Slaves were not allowed to have last name. :)
@zaxxx You are incorrect. Slaves were automatically given the surname of their owner.
Ok, to correct myself. In Europe, middle east and asia, slaves were not allowed to have a last name, they were allowed to have only first name that is given to them by their owner. The mark to whom they belong were imprinted on their skin. I dont know for the US how things were when they enslaved Africans but in Europe things were different.
bcs men are responsible for the well being of the whole family.
She can choose to not so
This is not the 1950s anymore
omg why is it such a big deal. Nobody cares and if they do then I'm sure they talk about it with their husband/wife.
They don't have to. It's just tradition
My mom didn't take my dads last name. She hyphenated. She's a bit of a feminist
They are responsible for child support legally
this makes the most sense
mostly for verifying
but we have test for that today
My will take my last name
She has the choice to keep her name
Omg who cares what's the big deal
Why are you a feminist?
Well without him there would be no baby
That's false. There's a wage gap lol
Because that's tradition. It's completely fair.
The stuff you guys complain about fml
Patriarchal traditions.
Not really if you’re married
because of y chromosome :P
Because wives take their husband's name.
Cos only for dad there would be no baby
If not for mum there would not be a baby either
I agree
Life isn't fair. Get over it.
because thats how family works
