I need feminism because..

people laughed when I told them that my boyfriend was considering taking my last name when we marry (after making fun of his last name). They laugh again, when I tell them my sister’s husband took our last name, and call him “a joke” or “whipped”. I’m proud of my name, and the history of my family. My boyfriend doesn’t care about his last name, but it’s more important to people that we appear “traditional” or that I’ve “submitted” to joining HIS family.

I think he’s been laughed at too, because recently, he changed his mind.
