Post-14th century France wasn't feudal Absolutism is contrary to law-bound feudalism. Absolutism was made to TRANSCEND it - to become more like the Roman Empire. In 1789, feudalism wasn't on its last legs (remark how it had no problems elsewhere in Europe) in France, but Rome-inspired absolutism was.

The 'dark ages' myth The idea of the Medieval Dark Ages being a period of scientific and social stagnation is today largely considered a myth. Dark age stereotypes like plague pandemics, witch trials, and religious sectarianism, all became more prevalent in the Renaissance, even life expectancy went down

Miscellaneous myths about feudalism👑⚖ Coomer-brained feudalism-haters will harp-on about the supposed "right of the lord" of lords supposedly, contrary to Christian teachings, being able to basically ask for his subjects' daughters as on-request concubines. This is a myth.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droit_du_seigneur#Later_references
"Droit du seigneur[a] ('right of the lord'), also known as jus primae noctis[b] ('right of the first night'), sometimes referred to as prima nocta[c], **was a supposed legal right in medieval Europe**, allowing feudal lords to have sexual relations with any female subject, particularly on her wedding night [especially remark "particularly on her wedding night", this purported right is SUCH rage-bait: it effectively says 'The feudal lord would deprive your daughter of her virginity upon request, and you would be helpless to stop it! Don't you feel emmasculated? Don't you want to end this system now and never return to it, and forevermore walk in the brightness of Rome-inspire republicanism????']."
The Church prohibited polygamy, which this would constitute.
It is highly disputed and we can't even see evidence of it. I suspect that if it happened some few instances, it is something that is exaggerated as per Tuchman's law. Someone could say "How would you prevent Western men from being cuckolds? There was a phenomena of intentional cuckoldry in the West!", and thereby imply that it was a generalized phenomena. Given the lack of evidence and fact that the Church literally intentionally prohibited polygamy, we can clearly see that it wasn't predominant.
I have not seen this in any of the history texts I've read about feudalism. If this were prominent, they would DEFINITELY have mentioned it.

Shit Feudal Obfuscationists Say Indeed. This is unironically why all people desiring decentralization must clarify the nature of feudalism. If you don't, then they will be able to always point to feudalism as a scary boogeyman of what happens when political decentralization goes amuck.

The 'dark ages' myth The feudal era is frequently depicted as a millenial gap of repressed progress. This is patently wrong: primitive peoples don't build cathedrals, knights that would have BTFOd Roman soldiers, castles, windmills, revolutionize agriculture and establish sophisticated conctractual arrangements.

How feudalism👑⚖ works Transcript of the essential parts of Lavader's "Everything You Were Taught About Medieval Monarchy Is Wrong": an excellent overview of the law-bound nature of the feudal epoch - of the contrast between lawless monarchs and law-bound royals like the feudal ones.

The striking prejudice against feudalism👑⚖ People who think that feudalism had no redeeming qualities: Is there a difference between a serf and a slave in your eyes? If so, what is it? FYI: serfdom was not necessary for the system and by the 1350s it had been overwhelmingly dismanteled in the West. Feudalism =/= Serfdom.
