A Constitutional Amendment Saying Men and Women Are Equal Died in the 70s. #MeToo Might Change...

Wow! Yes, I pulled a link from Mother Jones. Ordinarily I wouldn't use anything reported by these yellow journalists, but there's an irony here. Revive the Equal Rights Amendment that was defeated more than forty years ago? I'm sure that the Intersectionalists think the time is ripe to strike again, but they may be begging a healthy dose of unintended consequences. Think about it. The Constitution including its amendments guarantee equal rights for all. With the end of slavery, we culturally accepted that as including all races, including blacks, as people too, thus making the ERA superfluous. Or is it? It's possible that women seeking redress from inequality may find they are handing men the means to seek equality over their superior advantages. None can argue that if two persons, equally qualified, one a man and the other a woman, apply for a job today, the woman will get it. If two persons, again a man and a woman, equally qualified apply for the last admission available to a college or university, the woman will get it. If not, the demonstrations will begin, the bras and pussy hats put on display, and the "offending" HR person or school registrar will be crucified. If a woman applied for a job and is told that she can have it if she'll accept just pennies on the dollar, the lawyers will be howling at the door before her color returns to normal. Will women continue to receive preferential treatment if the ERA is passed? Is that what the #MeToo movement wants?
