The single greatest political and social failure of the 20th Century was the failure to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment! To say women can't earn equal pay! To say women can't have equal say! To say women can't be a better leader because of her gender is just as ridiculous as saying people of color are less than Human!

Equal rights can not be applied on everything as we are not equal in our abilities... It's down to a person not a gender... Women are too emotional to be political leaders and we have seen the result of it... As for payment, I'd pay for your skills not your gender...
It’s not as simple as that. Women from India have less problem picking the jobs that pay well, what stands out about the European social democracies particularly is girls will be girls. Remove the sword of Damocles dangling over the workforce and the number of women working part time with children goes up.
In addition to this is the problem women have with female authority, you mustn’t have see how bad women react to a female boss or leader.
To make women like men you’d have to breed them in a particularly direction. In many ways someone like Ayn Rand is the prototype modern “woman” almost indistinguishable from a man, encouraging the Ayn Rand to breed and women who love kids not to will in good time raise the testestorone and brutality of women everywhere.

well, equal rights should be there for anyone on this planet. If Mr. Trump has the right to be an dumba**, everyone has that right, when he has the right to owe over 1o millions of dollars, everyone has that right, and no one should have the right to say to something what he has to do.
Stop minimum wages, they're not worth working for.
The struggle is between the nuclear family and cutthroat capitalist and they offer equality in different senses.
The 1950s felt nothing like capitalism there was such a shortage of manpower the entire decade felt much more like social democracy. But in no way does actual capitalism support stability or the prospect of a one-income family, in today's world the position and value of labour has been extremely devalued since the 1950s relatively speaking the working class have never had it so bad in 2019. When Harold Macmillan said "you've never had it so good" he was referring to the fact that anybody in work had a dream life. One household could send one person out to work and that person could spend 6 hours of the working day on the toilet, and yet still be able to provide for his family. That was the 1950s.

And you know they say we're dumbing down but this is not true in every sense. That Homer Simpson with the soft and overpaid job for life, that was the good old days.

I make it sound all wrong when I put it like that. The system back then was set against Smithers And Mr Burns in the favour of Homer, it was difficult to fire anybody and almost impossible to overpay the rich. Eisenhower's 90% income tax rate on the rich wasn't really about increasing tax revenue, it was about preventing industry from paying its bosses and managers too much so that industry invests in equipment and wages instead. This afforded broader society the luxury of the nuclear family.

I think gender equality is unattainable. (more aptly I know it is) Fighting for the unattainable is madness. Even men are not equal to other men and women not equal to other women. Creating a gender bias only serves to muddy the waters of male/female interactions and to get selfish squeaky wheels greased.
It's also very beta to kiss women's misdirected asses. I suppose that's liberal though.

The Equal Rights Amendment is not about gender equality! It's about equal rights under the Law regardless of gender!
I can't believe this has to be explained to anyone!
BB_snickers: Then you should read your OP which is laced with gender and separatist commentary.
I can't believe you can't explain it to yourself.
You guys just keep revealing your willful ignorance! "Gender and separatist commentary"?

Equal rights has nothing to do with gender equality! It has to do with equal pay and equal social status! Not sure what you are trying to read into it but my OP is pretty strait forward!

Ok. Why would you bring up women and race then? Pretty straightforwardly.
