26. Men are definitely the preferred sex, especially since it's not expected they'll accommodate women's names.

Pro tip for women: If you should be divorced, I recommend changing your married name back to your maiden name to avoid difficulties.

My advice is keep your own name, period! I not only had to produce the damned marriage certificate, but the same AND the divorce papers from my first marriage. That's what I mean, women have to account for their every legal encounter with men if they do as generations have done and changed their name. If and when something happens to my hubby (whom I love with all my heart), I will never again have anything to do with men. I'm done with that whole species. AFAIC, you can't top sisterhood. I've been back and forth all my life, but I've had it with men in today's world. There's just too much danger and peril for women these days. I'm headed back to my Dianic days.
