about the way things have "always been done." I can see them keeping their own names, carrying on the family name they were born under, just like men. Men may not exactly be happy with some of the changes the young uns can come up with, but I'm all for them. If you want to do marriage, it needs to be more equal. No more of this subservient bullcrap. You do not bury yourself when you get married. It should be as equal a partnership as possible, or nothing at all. Maybe do away with marriage, completely. It's a mostly losing strategy for women... and even some men end up on the short end of the stick. Divorces aren't cheap.
