Why Do Women Still Change Their Last Names?

Why Do Women Still Change Their Last Names?

Jordana is knee-deep in the name-change process, which spirals into an analysis with Dr. Naomi about why women are *still* doing this and why even the most self-proclaimed feminist men suddenly get real traditional when it’s their last name on the line. Meanwhile, one woman is desperately trying to figure out how to politely uninvite a new friend from her recipe club after a series of truly rancid vibe clashes, sparking a broader convo about how groups love to turn cliquey the second you look away. Elsewhere, a Betch navigating a family estrangement wants to know if she’s justified in holding a healthy boundary or if she’s about to get guilt-tripped into emotional self-sabotage. A young woman whose college years were basically sponsored by alcohol, is now stuck in a cycle of nightly wine-fueled anxiety management and intrusive thoughts, looking for an intention that doesn’t involve popping another bottle. A new mom, still rattled, seeks validation after a sketchy off-leash dog encounter that could’ve gone very differently (and not in a cute viral video way). And finally, one engaged couple is planning their wedding and realizing they may be expected to invite nine total strangers—because nothing says “our special day” like a guest list full of people you wouldn’t recognize in a lineup.
