| + | I can understand both perspectives in this debate, but can only beleive the perspective of the women who were in favor of an equal rights amendment. Women just obtained the right to vote but, are not complete as a gender, until they are viewed as equal to men in society. To me, the right to vote cannot truly come into effect until women are viewed equally as men. Men still do not take their political views very seriously and simply giving women the right to vote will not change this opinion. Hamilton says that the goal for all feminists is the same, and based on what we have learned so far, this is obviously not true. She is referring to traditional feminism, which has its roots with white middle class women. She claims an equal rights amendment will make things more complicated, but in my opinion, things will be much easier and obviously women would be able to accomplish more.-afrisk | ||
