Like why is that **** still on in some countries? I honestly think it's the most tacky and misogynist thing to do.

Spain's way to handle it it's quite cool.

Also, it's obvious that when a woman gets married she does not take the husband's last name, she sticks with her family names.

You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_naming_customs

Do you think people should embrace this custom since it's way more fair and equal for everybody?

I'm honestly quite surprised as of why this is never brought up when people talk about feminism.

i'm Mexican and have my mom and dad's

if I get married I will have my dad's and husband's last name

I find it funny that muslim women don't do that yet women in the west still do. A reverse warholian experience

Misogynistic?

If they like their name they can keep it, and nobody is forcing them to do otherwise. Well, at least not in America I don't believe.

because they want to? people sometimes tack on their partner's name to their own surname too, you know. it's just a matter of option.

Why not ?

In France when you get married the family name can be the one of the mother, the father, or both. They choose.

What don't they do exactly?

Why are you do bothered by it?

When I get married i'll be taking my husband's last name because that's what the hell I want to do.

they don't take their husbands last name. all my muslim friends and my muslim cousins moms have their own last name and not their husbands.

it's just a name in my country it's your name - your mothers middle name - your fathers lastname
both the mother & father keep their middle & lastnames

It's traditional boo

Not everyone wants to.

I refuse to believe a women would want her son/daughter to carry their husband's name and erase everything about her identity. It goes against every feminist movement, if you think about it.

It's a tradition and most women tend to do a lot of self-loathing for not taking their husband's last name. They feel morally forced to take it (sometimes it's even the husband or her/his family doing the forcing).

It is a stupid tradition, I agree. But women aren't actually forced to take the man's last name (at least not in the US, I can't speak for other countries). They have the choice to keep theirs if they like. Many female celebrities do it that way. Tbh, I think every culture should adopt the Spanish way by default though.

But you can't generalize this. Those are just the muslims from your environment who live in a western country. You made it sound like it'd be a muslim tradition or something

Eh, its just tradition, like how the bride usually walks down the aisle with the father. It seems to be an agreement so I don't believe theres anything truly misogynistic about it, and I don't see any women complaining about it.

It's a woman's choice to take her husband's last name. It's not a legal requirement.

It's traditional and it helps to unify the family, especially if they have children.

And for the religious, it demonstrates the authority that God gave man over his wife (which is not misogynistic or sexist unless you intentionally try to view it that way) when he created marriage.

I KNOW it's a tradition, not a legal requirement, that's what I said. I'm confused as of how is it still SO popular when it's really demeaning for a woman, specially when her child is gonna snatch the husband's name, not hers 'just because it's a tradition'.

Traditions can be changed.

Slavery used to be a tradition too, racism used to be a tradition too and witch hunting as well.
