okay first of all who the **** are you to tell people to abandon any of their traditions? It's like telling them to move on from their culture and what they grew up knowing. You have no place to outright dismiss that just because you don't like it.
secondly, I like how you dismiss the fact that it's still the woman's choice to change her name. Yes it's a tradition but she doesn't have to if she doesn't want to. You're not obligated to just because you're married.
Also people have varying opinions on the matter of "tacky," and would not consider changing your name to be joined with your spouse on a more intimate level as such. If we're sticking to that logic then getting married in and of itself is tacky, yet I don't think anyone would say that considering that marriage symbolizes the next and more intimate step in a couple's relationship.
And labeling the notion as sexist is pretty much stupid. Our planet is built on sexist principles, we're all pretty much aware of that. Yet we see strong and independent women still getting married and doing stuff like this. Are you implying that they aren't strong women on their own because they do it? Because that is much more sexist in my honest opinion.
Seriously that post was ignorant as hell. Who are you to say any of this? If you don't like it fine then don't change your last name, but don't put down people for doing it. It's a personal decision that honestly has nothing to do with anyone but themselves.
