I don't really see a need for the Equal Rights Amendment in the US constitution because all American citizens are already protected under the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. I suppose I see the reasoning that it would make sure that everyone is to be treated equally, but wouldn't it just be redundant to the 14th? Also, was Phyllis Schlafly right about having women's rights actually be minimized instead of maximized? Yes, I totally believe everyone should be treated equally, but is gender discrimination as big of an issue as it seems to be? AFAIK, I haven't experienced any first hand, but it shouldn't mean there isn't any out there. I appreciate all responses
