They have superiority, of course, but if they really had to accept equality, they wouldn't want it anymore. Just look at what's happening WRT divorce cases where the woman earns more; now that WOMEN are getting taken to the cleaners, they're crying like stuck pigs! I say let's give 'em MORE equality; let's give them all the equality they asked for... MarkyMark Guys,

One way to end all the foolishness is to GIVE women the equality they always bitch about having. They have superiority, of course, but if they really had to accept equality, they wouldn’t want it anymore. Just look at what’s happening WRT divorce cases where the woman earns more; now that WOMEN are getting taken to the cleaners, they’re crying like stuck pigs! I say let’s give ‘em MORE equality; let’s give them all the equality they asked for…

But, yes, female animals, in this case, are more equal than male animals.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”

Now they are advocating a female-tailored Constitutional Equality Amendment : http://www.now.org/organization/conference/1995/resoluti.html They see the issue you have raised. They do not want equality. They want supremacy. So they have revised their demand from the ERA to something that would advance women's interests only, while preserving the advances of women in all other areas (aff action, fam law) without any adjustment. This is a full-blown supremacy movement, now. No way around that. ERA is no solution, because women are smart enough to have moved beyond that. They are outmaneuvering us.

Equality to most people today means women and minority favoratism. Most likely it would just lead to more "equal pay" lawsuits and whatnot. I tend to agree with Derek above.

Rather libertarian, really. Passage of the ERA would seem to validate gay marriage and require the elimination of the draft or the drafting of women. Rather libertarian, really.

However, I am not sure it would help. Most state constitutions already guarantee those rights and yet women have special rights every day of the week. It's not enough to have a law say something is equal. The issue has to be forced and I really don't think most men are willing to force it. We would rather just drop out and let our society crumble.

Finally some men are figuring out that the ERA (and those who support it) really do want equality of the sexes. That's been the aim all along. So join up at www.4ERA.org and work to help get it ratified. Good job! Finally some men are figuring out that the ERA (and those who support it) really do want equality of the sexes.
