why. in --

I've always thought it was weird when people have usernames like "hispunkrockprincess" or "blahblahswife" or whatever. Why is your identity to be someone else's property? I hate the idea of someone "owning" me. Maybe some people like it.

It's still really, really creepy to me.

It's part of the reason why my SO and I don't particularly like the idea of marriage. It has historical connotations that don't sit well with me. Oh well. We will probably end up being married anyway in the future. Legal benefits, yo.
