No doubt.

But one can imagine the extrapolation to common law horrors.

[William Terrell]

Actually, the feminists wouldn't touch the common law. A common law marriage doesn't allow nofault divorce. It allows only the big four: abandonment, nonsupport, physical cruelty and infidelity, and sometimes civil death (long prison terms). The common law admits, coverture a vile thing in feminist eyes.

I would think a feminist who pushed the common law would be ignorant and the rest of the feral pack would square her away post haste.
