Anecdotal evidence
is invalid on the ideagraph. Arguments should be based on logical principles, scientific studies, and demonstrable facts.
Women should not be pressured by society to
change their last names when they get married
(which includes appending a name to your existing full name). Rather, they should be
exposed to the arguments
for and against the practice, so they can decide for themselves which is best.
