Six years behind you, MTwainiac. I remember.

Question for you, do you think current assault on women may have been, at least, more complicated had the ERA been ratified? It said "sex".

(I'm still mourning. It was given a 3+ year extension of ratification deadline.)

I dunno. I'll have to think about it.

I recall marching for the ERA in DC in the late 70s, all of us dressed in white... No way back then anyone could have imagined that in 2020 we'd be fighting to hold on to our basic rights as set forth in the Civil Rights Act and Title IX, but we'd be forced to defend the very notion that biological sex is a material fact that exists and has huge implications.
