If they aren't stopped, it's only a matter of time before women won't be able to own property, take loans or have credit in their names, and maybe even have bank accounts in their own name. Only men will be able to file for divorce. etc, etc.

So ... when are they going back to legalising child marriage and removing divorce?
Child marriages were never banned in the US. Hell, the GOP has been pushing to lower the age of consent from 18 already, and carving more and more pedo loopholes into the law.
Like, it's not being a pedo, if you raised her from aged 4 (ie, child from previous marriage), and married her at 16, because "She loves Daddy so much!". Or, it's not being a rapist if you're a good swimmer. And, well, divorce... That's pretty hard for some women, in some states, already.
Child marriage is already legal. We don't have to go back to that.
No-Fault divorce is already on the chopping block.
'Til death do us part' is gonna be the only option soon, just an FYI for my peeps in abusive relationships out there.

They’re already working on it.

I love how none of them ever had grandparents that got "divorced" before no-fault. You know what you did a lot of the time before no-fault if you wanted out? Killed your husband. Wives, when they were forced with a situation where they couldn't simply leave the state/country, would just poison their spouse. In the early 1900s, when your wife was often the one who was at home all the time, preparing all your meals, it was INCREDIBLY easy to do in a way that looked like "oh well he just kept getting sicker and sicker".
Lack of no fault also meant you often had to lie about your spouse in order to get a divorce. Sometimes these lies were agreed to by the spouses beforehand, sometimes they were not.

I've pretty much given up hope for the American people ever growing a spine and standing up for themselves, but if there's one thing I still believe can make things start happening it's if gay marriage is outlawed.
Though I will prepare myself to be proven wrong. That hasn't failed me before.
It'll go the same way it went for abortion. Red states will get worse while blue states stay more or less the same, which will prevent libs in the blue areas from mobilizing effectively to protect minorities in the red ones.
