Interesting thing about that is that, while it's still common practice, a lot of more left-leaning women did away with taking their husband's name years ago

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah my wife and I just kept our name. Its funny because over the years we sorta wish we would have done the traditional thing as it would make a variety of things easier but now apparently its becoming a brilliant move.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

My wife did the same, but for unofficial stuff, she uses my last name as hers.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

yeah its more problematic for official stuff really. like being in the hospital. Its not much but like you tend to have to make it more clear your the spouse.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

ID with the same address usually solves this for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

a little conversation usually does but sometimes, if she is conscious, they have to verify with her and it can take a bit if they are to busy.

We got married ten years ago and she didn't take my name. I'm very much cool with it, and it's got easier over the years.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

yeah it was a slow burn annoyance and she gets annoyed by it more than I but it took like 20 odd years to be like. This is sorta annoying. EDITED - hey so im rethinking and it started at about the 10 year mark and built up over time but as I said its little things. My wife has a lot of medical issues though so we might have more nuisance around it than the typical couple.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

We all got our struggles. Ours are shitty and I'm sure you guys have shitty ones too. Fucking life is shitty. All we can do is try to help our people out when we can.

Left leaning women are also far less likely to get married to begin with.

The article actually points all of that out, it will be Republican women who mostly are disenfranchised by this.

[–] phdepressed 11 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

In a sort of twisted way that could result in a blue wave if they disenfranchised ~half of their own voters and not the left.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 22 hours ago

They’ll presumably remedy this by giving husbands extra votes on behalf of their wives and children, as in Franco-era Spain.

My wife didn’t take my last name and I’m so glad.

[–] Banana 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

My mom never took my dad's so I grew up with that being the norm, so I took it step further and my partner and I are not even married despite being together 11 years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah my partner and I didn't get married until 8 years deep, and that's going steady. We were fucking on and off for years before. We did it to appease our family. Never had any kids thank the hole in the ozone.

[–] Banana 2 points 19 hours ago

Tbqh i don't know if we are ever gonna get married, just because it's not the main priority, but I do make sure he's my beneficiary for most things.
