 Carrying on and whatnot the maiden name thing always boggled my mind like literally mass scale indoctrination of girls huge focal point event of your life is this marriage “transaction” ceremony obviously completely not even hiding it and the whole identity of surname based on it zero choice by you default expectation erodes like marble carved by experts female surname does not carry however it is the essential vessel the mother, a mere expense to bare the name of the father 🤯 shouldn’t even have to be a fight in the first place, know what I mean? Male privilege and ignorance over here all day long, like I said. Also am husband. Love my wife dearly, she took my name. Now her work is confused about credentials with two names 🤦🏼 same person an identity split. Modern horrors of social constructs?
