Maybe I am misunderstanding, but are you saying that if a woman doesn't change her name, that means she "can't commit to a marriage?"
Or are you just playing devil's advocate?
In any case, glad this thread has come up again, because I'm getting married in two weeks and must sign the license in 7 days. I thought I had resigned myself to taking ktspktsp's last name, mostly due to a mix of personal and professional reasons. No sooner do I announce this, than I start feeling the same old way again... that it's just plain unfair, and why doesn't he have to go through the same shit (I get hellfire and brimstone whether I change it or not, these days), etc. I just hate the whole system right now, and I hate how it's been bred into both me and him from day one. As if that means we can't stand up and do our own thing??? BLEH.
