Head over to the The F-Word. Apparently half of Americans think a woman should be legally required to change her last name when she gets married. Because clearly the government needs to put a stop to us uppity bitches who might want to retain a sense of individuality despite getting a ring.

And yet it seems an overwhelming proportion of marriage jokes are about how limiting and miserable and prison-like marriage is for the man. WTF.

    I didn't change my name when I got married. My female friends who HAD changed their names were either angry with me or jealous of me. When I (stupidly) told one of them that my husband was actually considering changing his name to mine - she stopped speaking to me.

    It's an insanely hot topic.
