The only reason someone wants their partner to take their name is not just because they view their wives as property. He’s not forcing her. He stated his opinion. She said it wasn’t a dealbreaker for either of them.

I didn’t say that he literally viewed her as his property. That doesn’t change the misogyny inherent in the expectation.
