They want to call a constitutional convention

oy vey

so what would this amendment actually look like in practice, i don't get it @Fitzydog

They list it right in the article. It's literally nothing.

"Equal rights for women and men."

Which the civil Rights act already does

that's why i'm confused

so i'm guessing it's gonna be used in some fucked up way

idk

@Fitzydog you should have been here last night

there was some faggot arguing that the constitution wasn't the law of the land

Well, I mean, if you want to get technical, its the law of the government and states.

It's the rules for the rulers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Rights_Amendment

They've been trying to lift the sunset clause on the amendment for ages

Oh, so, more visitation rights for men then?

And women have to sign up for the draft?

"Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."

That's the amendment, basically. The other two clauses of effect are how it's implemented through Congress' power and when it takes effect

I like how in the 20s and 60s it was working class and conservative women who shot it down. Today it would be leftist.

Howevrr, i dont see it making a big difference. Many states adopted similar admendments to their own constitutions but still dont have equal rights on divorce. Like Oregon.

It has to go to legislation in all 50 states first

It has. In the 60s.

It failed to be ratified by the deadline. But like i said many states took exact duplicates and put it in their state constitutions like oregon, but they still have alimony, women getting custody more often and so on.

Yeah, I guess. Idk what this does other than sounds nice in writing

It just becomes a bludgeoning tool for "sexist groups" but it wont change the status quo for sectors women come ahead in, like divorce.

Oh shit, I never even thought about that. This can ruin freedom of association for men's groups

It's ok

It won't pass 🤣

Oh it will

gl on the battlefield then

These people aren't self aware enough to understand the ramifications of their actions

"The Equal Rights for Women Amend---"

"EQUAL RIGHTS?!? OMG YES OF COURSE ILL VOTE FOR THAT!!"

\*Checks box*

Lmao, you know whats funny. That was the same reason sufferage took so long.

*suffrage lol

So what will happen is it will get kicked back that subsection removed and then passed, just like voting rights.

Meh

Tired

We are suffering from suffrage kek

Oh wait. Technically alimony isnt just awarded to women. Rven though less than 5% of cases men qualify for alimony get it, that can be touted that the system is "equal" cause both "can be" same with custody.

So it wouldnt abolish it...

Yeah, but you'd see a lot more appeals under this amendment

So yea, moat of the status quo would stay the same. It would just be a tool to blungeon mens groups, blungeon employers cause they chose a man to hire, ect.
