I had seen it referred to as a NC law, though it may very well have been "inherited" from English law, like so much of our system. I'd like to know the definitive answer to where this came from, if you happen to run across it again. > And I would wonder how many feminists, of the population in general actually > know this. You know, I thought the very same thing until I saw it repeated in the movie "Boondock Saints." Just blew me away that it was anything more than legal trivia. Apparently there are some women that are very offended by the term, so out of respect I don't use it anymore. Still have to catch myself, though.
