Thanks for your comment, Frank. I'm certain you're not the only grownup reader of the blog - just…Read More the only one so far. (At first, I thought some guys were putting me on; they have to be kidding.) You're right, of course, some Democrats voted against the E.R.A. for women. Shamefully, they and a majority of Republicans have defeated each attempt to pass the amendment so far. I still find it almost unbelievable that some of our neighbors think women do not deserve equal rights under the law. I thought that kind of thinking existed only in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and some backwoods places in Tennessee.

'Frank H. Robles', I emplore you from your inference, please quit treating women as 2nd class…Read More citizens as your start, toward equal rights and improvement of your relationships to women. This act alone, renders bestowing inordinate Rights or extralegal treatment of women as a group - moot, and aligned with our(American) precepts - as it is wholly unneeded under our Constitution at this time - hopefully, for all time.

Women are in a subordinate role to men for a reason. The responsibilty of bearing and caring for…Read More children makes it difficult if not impossible for a woman to support herself during that time. It is the man's responsibility to do this. So for good reason women look for reliable men to to take care of them. In the absence of reliable men big government steps in and becomes the husband. Destruction of the family and ultimately our nation is the objective of women's lib. If you don't like The USA try places like Saudi Arabia where women are treated as livestock. (The Saudis and many other Islamic nations would very much like to take over the USA). Leave it to a sick puppy like Jac Flanders to spatter his verbal vomit all over the message boards. And the indecated masses lap it up like candy
