I found it shocking that 50% of Americans think that a woman should be legally obligated to change her name when she marries. I guess, despite my relatively high level of cynicism, I have yet to realize the degree to which American society likes to butt into other people's business. It's so depressing every time I realize that we suck.

It's surprisingly difficult to find an actual copy of the study.
