Re: The Equal Rights Amendment

Those are very good points and it's a perfectly valid argument, but IMO (and in a lot of other people's opinion), it just doesn't work that way IRL. Without the Equal Rights Act spelling things out clearly, there are too many loopholes through which people can argue that sure, we're t o t a l l y being treated equally to men when we actually aren't, because doing xyz totally unfair gender discriminatory thing that screws over women can be argued to not fall under the protections given outside of the Equal Rights Act.

Tl;dr, yes, I understand and agree with Ainsley's sentiment when she says "I am not a special subset in need of your protection" and "The same Article 14 that protects you, protects me." Because that is how it is in theory, and that's how it should be.

But actually, in practice, we are, and it doesn't.
