Have you also noticed that now that there IS "equal rights" in the workplace, and no discrimination laws in place even thoe the ERA was never ratified by enough stated, that NOW they don't WANT the ERA to pass. Reasons given by the "mommy brigade" which I have heard/read, are as follows:
1) We don't want ourselves or our daughters to be drafted or serve in combat
2) This would interfere with our child support, alimony, and other benefits for our children (welfare)
3) This would force mothers with young children to enter the workforce
....among other EQUALLY as selfish and child related excuses and reasons. The members of the mommy brigade are not old enough to have suffered sexual discrimination in the workplace, which is pretty much what the ERA is about anymore Yet THEY are reaping the benefits and tacking on anything extra they can get their fat little hands on. It makes me sick. It's not a personal beef with me as I am not old enough to have gone through it either, but I AM old enough to remember women who did. What a bunch of selfish whores.
