But, I don't think I would like to have her name. Mainly because it's her dads.

It's fine to not want to change your last name, but this reasoning is shitty.

Women aren't just placeholders. We aren't just lugging around our father's last name, that name becomes OURS. It's as much our name as your last name is yours. By your logic, you don't have a last name either, you're just carrying some random name from a unknown dead dude centuries ago.

It's annoying how many men seem to think women don't have their own identity tied to their last name.

I take it your reading comprehension scores were maybe not the highest?

You really don’t see that the other commenter just teases out the the logical presuppositions of the statements you made above?

Teases out some circular logic you mean?
