Names of Women: Does it really matter

The posing question of the importance of a woman holding onto her name is completely irrelevant considering the other issues of gender inequalities especially in jobs. Our society is way to sensitive to minor problems such as this one. Names are used as identifiers and one gender had to keep their last name in order to represent that they are married and for the convenience to reference them as a family. Men retaining their last name has been a tradition for as long as civilization has been created and there is no reason to change it now. It is extremely silly for arguments to be made advocating men to change their last names to women. Women have the right to keep their last name if they choose and it is not a big deal if something so simple as one's name is changed.
