Alyssa and others are so blinded by their belief that women are treated ‘less-than’ in modern-day America that they aren’t seeing things clearly.
In 2020, the ERA would only be a symbolic gesture for women. It is actually boys & men who would benefit.
A thread:
How would the ERA help women in 2020?
The gender pay gap? That’s due to women’s personal choices, and if there IS discrimination, there are laws already in place for that.
Sexual harassment? No... it wouldn’t help there, either.
The housework gender gap? You’re kidding, right?
But for men...
Research shows that men receive 63% longer sentences than women do for committing the same crime, and women are twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted.
If the ERA comes about, I hope we can address this inequality.
Domestic violence funding disproportionately benefits women when, research shows, there is a significant number of men who suffer from DV.
If the ERA comes about, I hope we can address this inequality.
Gender-specific scholarships disproportionately favors girls even though 57% of college students and the majority of those receiving associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor’s degrees are women.
If the ERA comes about, I hope we can address this inequality.
Males are still required to register for selective service, females are not.
If the ERA comes about, I hope we can address this inequality.
There’s a bias in family court negatively affecting dads. There are multiple states trying to pass equal parenting laws, and women’s groups are actively fighting against them.
If the ERA comes about, I hope we can address this inequality.
Men’s health is underrepresented & underfunded in government. At least a dozen offices in the federal system are charged with promoting women’s health, but none exist exclusively to protect men.
If the ERA comes about, I hope we can address this inequality.
Men’s reproductive rights end at which birth control method to use. They have no say after a pregnancy occurs.
If the ERA comes about... could it address this inequality? 🧐

There has never been a better time to be a female in America. Open your eyes.
It is time for us to address the issues affecting boys & men if we truly want a prosperous society where both sexes are treated fairly!
