ERA

The equal rights amendment supported the right for everyone, including women, to have equal rights. This idea should be supported because it gives women the opportunity to have equal rights if they wanted to go about getting a job, or any other activity that did not have gender equality. Some people do not support the ERA because they do not want to change their ways or fear the draft, because if they are equal to men, then they assume they have to everything in the same ways aw men. However, if they think in this mindset, they deny certain women the rights to equality because of their own selfishness. Despite its apparent benefits, the ERA was not passed. So the question is: should it be revived today? In many ways, it is not necessary because other laws have created equal opportunities, like in the workplace, someone cannot be denied a position based solely on their gender. Also, discrimination because of gender is mostly due to social situations. So when these social prejudices on gender are eliminated, there is no need for an ERA to be revived and passed as a law.
