Do you think women should have to take their husband's last name?

    Remember that in patrilineal kinship, the name follows the Y chromosome.

          What are you on about? Names have nothing to do with genes!

            Think about it. Only males have Y chromosomes. They get them from their fathers. In patrilineal kinship boys also get their last names from their fathers. I am only asking that you think thru this.

              I don't need to think about it, I know all that, I just don't see the relationship to names which are a social construct, not a biological fact

                In the case of the original question about married women using their husband's last names, patrilineal kinship is not relevant.
