keep my last name
dumb tradition

I think it is really stupid that women are generally expected to change their last names when they get married. It implies that the woman severs her ties with her real family and gets sucked into her husband’s. What a classic case of a male-centered society. And even with all the progress we’ve made in the way of human rights, we still continue this tradition. Why?

Is a cultural thing and, if I’m not wrong, is mostly and “english-speaking” countries thing. So I guess people only does it following the tradition, but I agrre with you.

Here we have two surnames (one from the father and one from the mother) and we keep them for all our life.
