Men are *supposed* to be leaders.
Women keeping their last names just reminds me that as a whole, we're sissyfying the male race, then wondering why we're lost, we lack real men, we lack real leadership.

How exactly does this: "Women keeping their last names" equate to this: "we're sissyfying the male race" you half-wit (half-wit by the way is probably being too generous)?
Damn! I went to school, read good books, listened when wise people spoke and grew up to be a smart, kind and generous person. I'm such a failure as a man.
I think practicality suggests that tradition be followed and men keep their name and women change theirs. Hyphens get confusing, and how many generations can you expect to carry them on for before it becomes a major pain. It seems like since someone has to make the change why not keep with tradition. My last name is already fourteen letters long, no way am i going to hyphenate that.
No, iklepac, it's because of the way people venerate Queen Victoria as the model of raising kids: obedient followers. And it's people like yourself who would follow an old bat like that who also thought that people should be covered in two layers of clothing from the neck down so she wouldn't betray Albert!
Funny, but I noticed that these "men" who complain about women's rigths, liberation and the "sissyfying" of the male "race" (that's as bad as male species), tend to be......chickenhawks.
I took my husband's last name because I got teased for my last name all my life (no, I'm not telling - let's just say it's easy to rhyme) and I don't like double-barrelled surnames.
This is the second time that I've visited the Men's Corner, and the second time I've been repulsed by some of the viewpoints there. It's also the umpteenth time I've heard or read something that's made me afraid to date Christian men, despite being a Christian myself.
This probably wasn't your intention, but your post is an equal opportunity offender in that it slanders both women and men. Men who don't repeatedly smack women around or taunt them are sissies? Yes, because nothing proves that a man is a man than his eagerness to crush the other half of the human race, the other half that gave him life to boot. We are part of the same species, idiot. Deal with it.
I see your point iklepac13 the male race must be kept pure. Therefore I would suggest that you and all the "real men" who agree with you from this day keep away from women and anything concerning them. Yes even sex and yes even for the sake of procreation, that ought to deal with the problem.
Also I wasn't aware of the existence of a "male race".
Wow, yeah, men that treat women as equals. Sounds like a real pack of namby-pamblies terrified of the female sex.
Oh, wait, no, that'd be you.
We did even more than that when we married. My husband took my last name, as his was a boring name like Anderson. My husband is certainly no sissy. And since when are males their own race?
We've had strong women leaders several times through history; Saint Bridget, Queen Christina, Queen Margareta, to name three.
I admire your Madeleine Albright, she seems like a very strong leader.

“Men are *supposed* to be leaders.”
“Women keeping their last names just reminds me that as a whole, we're sissyfying the male race”
“then wondering why we're lost, we lack real men, we lack real leadership.”
Confused?
