When we use sociological imagination,we question how social forces (including history)affect our day-to-day behaviors.In the past,women gave up their family names when they got married and took the last names of their new husbands.At the time,this practice indicated that a woman,who was a piece of property,was being transferred from one male (the father)to another (the new husband).Men didn't change their names because they were owners,not property.
Drawing on your reading of the gender chapter,why might this practice persist today? The concept of hegemonic masculinity or patriarchy may be helpful to you in your answer (but feel free to draw on a different line of thought).
