https://twitter.com/LauKaya/status/1086334889438384128 looks like it some good news out of EU as it looks like article 10 and 13 is failing as they cant agree on it anymore
That author is absolutely atrocious at writing
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
