Sorry Guys---for Women Only!!

Gloria Steinem


I very seldom get into politics as I remember being taught “Never talk politics or religion” and I do follow the latter but every once in awhile slip when it comes to the former and now is one of those times.




I watched “The Glorias” last night (see review on Friday) and recently read about “Ms. America” and both deal with the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) that was a big political fight in the USA during the latter part of the 1970s. The films deal with both sides of the arguments but I still don’t quite understand why there is an argument at all.




Since it deals mainly with women’s rights I thought I would ask you ladies a few questions to help me see your perspective as I have a feeling it is going to be a major subject once again.



For those who were around in the 1970s why were you for or against it?




For those who may have to deal with the ERA in a year or two why would you be against or for it?



Please, don’t argue with each other! I just want to understand why/what YOU feel. Thanks.




For those who may not be completely familiar with the Amendment here is a quick review:
