Cis male privilege is not being expected to change your last name to your wife’s when you get married.

Cis male privilege is only the males being expected to hold speeches at the wedding dinner.

Don’t think I’ll ever get married, because I love my last name and wouldn’t change it for anyone.

I like my last name, too. It’s fun to say. But I’ll probably change it to my spouse’s.

Though there’s actually no requirement to change your last name…my parents have been married 20-some years and my mom still goes by her maiden name.
