    Interesting thing about that is that, while it’s still common practice, a lot of more left-leaning women did away with taking their husband’s name years ago

      Left leaning women are also far less likely to get married to begin with.

      The article actually points all of that out, it will be Republican women who mostly are disenfranchised by this.

        In a sort of twisted way that could result in a blue wave if they disenfranchised ~half of their own voters and not the left.

        My mom never took my dad’s so I grew up with that being the norm, so I took it step further and my partner and I are not even married despite being together 11 years.

            Tbqh i don’t know if we are ever gonna get married, just because it’s not the main priority, but I do make sure he’s my beneficiary for most things.

      I took my spouse’s name because I hated my old one.

      But I will happily be a class representative for the lawsuit against this bill.
