women keeping their maiden name as their new middle name are no different than the hyphenated last name crowd
Totally not the same thing

I have no problem if a woman doesn't want to lost her maiden name. However, many of these same women still expect a man to pay 3 months salary for a ring and him to get down on one knee....see THEN it's still about tradition.
Still about tradition to keep your maiden name. My grandmother did this (kept her maiden as her middle name upon marriage). In the south among upper/middle class landed families, it's been a tradition for many years. Wife honors her union with her husband by taking his name but honors the history of her own original family by keeping a signifier of who she once was. Also helped once wills were read/estates were divided up.
Similar tradition is for families to give their son or daughter a first or middle name that was once the wife's surname (or one of their mothers' surnames).
FWIW, I did mine this way long before Facebook.

Catholics women would all be named the same.

Can never trust a hyphenated last name. I am just saying
Meh. My best friend has a PhD and married a man with a PhD in the very same field...to avoid confusion, she hyphenated, so he is Dr. S and she is Dr. E-S. I think it makes perfect sense under those circumstances.
But yeah, I'm generally not a fan.

their name never changes. They can choose to adopt their husband's last name, and do whatever they like with the middle and maiden names, but their original name remains on their birth certificate, unchanged.

With my wife it had to do with which name she liked best and which sounded better (for middle name). Then she took my last name. I didn't care either way. She didn't make her decision on any marriage standard.

I always thought women kept their original middle name,
I don't know if I can think offhand of any female I've ever met and know well that has kept their middle name.
Drop the middle name, maiden names becomes new middle name, husband's name becomes new last name...has been the forumla for pretty much every married woman I know.

I've never heard of women changing their middle name upon getting married.

how old are you? I didn't know it was possible people didn't know that.
So if Jane Marie Doe marries John Smith, what do you think Jane's name then becomes? It is far, FAR more likely to become Jane Doe Smith than any other configuration.

Would it be fair to generalize that women with hyphenated last names are liberal?

At the very least they think men and women are equal
