| 22. I was just thinking the same thing. ERA needs to be passed, for the sake |
|
of principle, if nothing else. but on the practical side, it would give women a lot of legal support when facing discrimination. i think that it would also apply to a lot of gay rights issues, and of course that would be used by the right as a reason against it. unfortunately, we can't even count on all women to support the ERA, and that's even without the gay issues. throughout history women have been their own worst enemy, often choosing to cast their lot with the very people who believe that they are an inferior sub-species of the human race.
