We have already gone through this before here on BN....again i ask, how is the coming together of TWO people somehow becomes MORE meaningful when one takes the other person's name? What does it exactly symbolise to the family?

Oh and you did say marriage is TWO families coming TOGETHER right? So wouldn't make more sense then that BOTH the man and woman UNITE their names together to make ONE family? Why does the man's name dominate?
Hmm very emotive and leading language, which is not MY starting point...and I also put it to you that it could be argued that your FEMENIST line is also WESTERN in values and idealogy.... So if i'm reading this correctly you're challenging me on my so called western values with the use of western idealogy...is it me or does that not smack of a contradiction..
