I find it fascinating that so many women still subscribe to gender roles, submitting to their man, etc.....as if they enjoy being owned. As a male I'd find it repulsive if my spouse "submitted" to me and who's sole desire was to "serve" me, as so many women seem to love doing. There can be mutual respect, of course I'm much happier with having a life long girlfriend for the sake of her keeping her own identity and honor.
Grant it, I'm more than likely one of the rarest breed of men being that I'm heavily supportive of feminism, secularism, etc....just have no desire to own my wife as if she were cattle.

You may be a bit rare for this forum. My husband is like you, tho. I can't imagine my husband every asking me to change my name or do anything that would imply an application of controlling who I am.
I've always found those titles weird, probably because we always go for first name here, regards of who we talk to, other than royalties who get the "your majesty"-thing.

While I am in the process of changing my last name, I do not "submit" to him in any way or serve him. I still have my own identity, career, finances, etc. I am still ME. I just like his last name a little better. It's shorter.

Hey, I am a woman and I would never do any of that. I am not a slave or anyone's property. I believe in a relationship based on equality and that is what I have with my SO.
But I have friends who do "submit" to their husbands...and they have called me a Feminist and have said Feminism has has ruined women's lives. They use the word "Feminist" as a curse word.
In a way I feel like they don't like Feminism because it puts too much pressure on them to get off their behinds and do something with their lives. (The ones I know are nothing but lazy gold diggers who have no desire for a career or even anything of their own and they are teaching their daughters that a woman will only be complete when she has children and child rearing is their only purpose in life )
Their mindset is very similar to these people's: (page 2)
Many years ago slavery ended. No one owns anyone except maybe the family dog or cat. Certainly no husband owns his wife. I can't believe anyone would be dumb enough to think they own their wife/woman or spouse. I hate being around men who 'talk down' to their wives, of who treat their wives poorly. One of my very good male friends treated his wife poorly and it ruined our friendship.
On the other hand... It doesn't sound like your co-worker treasures the fact that she is married. I wouldn't want to be married to a woman that didn't appreciate me... She needs to live by herself for awhile and make her own way in the world.
I don't know about anywhere else, but not in my state. Our marriage license application had a statement at the end that we agree we do not own one another and will not be abusive. This was spelled out to us verbally AND we had to acknowledge to the clerk that we read and understood what it meant.
It doesn't sound like you're joking... Really?

Does a Husband own his Wife?
Really?
