Background

  • July 20th 1993 Alice Paul took the next step in authorizing the(era)
  • Presented as the Lucretia Mott amendment this recognized men/women have equal rights
  • Introduced to every congress between 1923-1970 .1940-1960 Eleanor opposed it
  • Phyllis Schlafly are that the era would take a lot of laws away such as
  • Protective laws like sexual assault & alimony would be taken away

CONTINUED..

FAVOR ERA

  • In the 21st century women have greater psychical and mental strength
  • Equal means same values as humans one human life is as good as another
  • When it comes down to it we are humans not one gender is greater than another
  • We should be proud as society to have the era because it shows how far we have gotten
  • They aren't weak nor infer to men we have to remember God created us both equal

ARGUMENTS AGAINST ERA

  • As a society we agree but nature & biology doesn't allow us to
  • That if women wanted to be treated equally they wouldn't be shown chivalry at work
  • And would have to give up some of their advantages.
  • Equal by law but not by mind.
  • Women weren't meant to cook and clean even with education they have different priorities

OPINIONS FROM US

  • We as a group feel women should be treated equally bc
  • Women couldn't get the same education as mean but this is different bc a lot
  • Of things has changed since before. Laws has passes women can do anything that men can do
  • As well there was strong women leader in the past and currently is now. We feel Alice Paul fought for era
  • We feel that as a society we should be moving forward instead of backward. We can't change how women

OPINIONS COUNT.

  • We're treated in the past but we can
  • Oversee that and move forward.
