I'm always a fan of women, I respect them. I really don't care because I think men and women are equal. Everything should be mutual.

I like that, it's more on the feminist side. Culturally the norm would be to take the man's last name. But I think it's be cool. It would be less work for me, I wouldn't have to change anything.

It's like any other choice, it's the person's decision. It should be the same as the woman taking the man's last name. I think it might have been blasphemous 20 years ago. But it just goes hand in hand, why is it even a question, shouldn't everyone be treated equally?

It should be between the couple. They should talk it out. I feel like they should hyphenate it if they want.
