Anti-feminist women’s groups set on quashing the Equal Rights Amendment are stoking baseless fears about trans women.
March 22 marks 50 years since Congress voted to send the Equal Rights Amendment , which would outlaw sex discrimination, to the states for ratification.
By 1977, the ERA appeared to be a done deal with bipartisan support and 35 of the necessary 38 state ratifications to amend the Constitution.
Today, Eagle Forum and right-wing women’s groups like Concerned Women for America and Independent Women’s Forum continue to oppose the ERA as well as the Equality Act, a bill that would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation and gender identity. Some of Schlafly’s arguments, such as “the career most women want is marriage, home, husband, and children,” asin 1982, are not likely to resonate with most women in 2022. Instead, today’s right-wing women’s groups have adopted a new tactic: using attacks on transgender people — the GOP’s new boogeyman — to try to undermine support for the ERA and the Equality Act.
