Marriage is a ridiculous institution. Outdated and stupid. Honestly.
Another one I know of is kinda related. Kids having their father's last name. He wasn't the one to give birth, so why give the kid his name? It especially baffles me when the parents aren't together by the time the kid is born, or weren't together to begin with. I've yet to hear an argument for this that makes sense. It's not like a man can even know for sure that the kid is even his unless he's had a paternity test, whereas it's pretty easy to determine that the mother is the mother (unless they have accidentally left the hospital with the wrong baby or something.)
I have my mother's surname. My bio father's name is a stupid one, so I'm glad of it. When people say that that's weird, I ask why and they never have a good answer. If you actually think about it, it's way weirder to give a kid their father's last name. All he did was jizz. I don't get it.
