    Either way, a man who finds this argument compelling has a simple solution: Take his wife’s name.https://twitter.com/TexianYankee/status/770239753392226304 …

    Women want to have the same name as their husband and children. It's cohesive. It bonds the family. Fuck off https://twitter.com/jillfilipovic/status/770024424674328576 …

        @TexianYankee In a matriarchy, he would. The issue is male ownership. Nothing to do with "family".

        Take your wife's name, then! Simple. Easy. Show how much this really is about One Family Name and not sexism.

        when I married, I wanted us to use the name that sounded nicer (hers.) She preferred mine. Should have traded.

        I'd so sure they'd be happy with a coin toss: Heads, your name. Tails, mine. Fairness and cohesiveness, right?

        @TexianYankee Another option: combine last names portmanteau style. Very common in some Latin American countries.
