Unless it calls for equal responsibilities it means nothing for actual equality.

Now we need to find laws that somehow treat women as lesser beings.

We surely don't have problem finding such laws treating mess like lesser beings, the whole legislation around violence lies, for instance, is not gender neutral, so are many rape definitions.

Not even feminists really want the ERA anymore; it's not radical enough and it wouldn't allow them to hoard the special ladies-only freebies which are so precious nowadays.

I hope this leads to women facing conscription and joint custody. Honestly, if we pass the ERA, I feel like it would be awesome. Think what you want, but I really do have faith that it might help us.
