At this point I'm pretty much of the opinion that OHJB had a great first two years of his Presidency and then lost the thread fairly quickly.
Marking his leave of office by giving a speech about how sad it is that the technobroligarcy is going to make us all peasants while gutting the government and then putting out statements like this just makes me shake my head that someone as capable as he was couldn't see the obvious and make way for some new energy.
Well, this should reconcile Title IX of the Education Amendments with Title VII of the CRA. These two paragraphs have nearly identical wording, and the SCOTUS has determined that sex is different from gender in Title VII paving the way for protecting LBGT rights, so now by extension and the ERA all such rights everywhere should be preserved.
Wouldn’t Equal Rights oppose the position of the Catholic Church? Then any stupid appeal penned by the Federalist Society will be upheld by the SCOTUS majority.
This came out in '72 early in my Air Force stint. I was overseas when it came up for a vote in my home state of Oregon (and 18 year olds had just gained the right to vote the previous year) I went out of my way to procure an absentee ballot and vote for the amendment in '73 (had to make a special trip to the US embassy to post my ballot). My mother would have never forgiven me if I hadn't voted.
"There is nothing wrong with women staying home and having babbies..."
Unless they're on welfare, then they're just popping out kids so they can leech off taxpayers' money instead of doing the most important job a woman can ever have.
That's the story of America! People voting their privilege and bigfooting where they can. But we can keep the dream alive...so many dreams, and if/when the American electorate upgrades we'll see that freedom for a bit.
"It’s puzzling. If he considered it ratified in 2020, why did he wait more than four years to do this? Or why not order the Archivist to publish it and let her refuse, then let court battles play out?"
More puzzling questions:
1 If Pres Biden thought the ERA was ratified in 2020, why didn't he order David Ferriero (an Obama appointee) to publish it?
2 If Pres Biden thought the ERA was ratified in 2020, why didn't he order Debra Steidel Wall (a Biden interim appointment) to publish it?
3 Didn't Biden talk to Ms Shogan prior to nominating her to at least see where she stood on publishing the ERA?
4 As asked above by Ms Jones, why did Biden sit on his hands for four years knowing that an Amendment isn't fully ratified until NARA publishes it?
5 Is Biden trying to improve his legacy (which took a serious hit this past election cycle) by making this statement a mere few days before Mooseballs Mussolini is in the Oval Office, knowing full well that he is spreading bovine scat since he had every opportunity to order the Amendment published any time during his administration?

"Well, maybe it can become the 28th Amendment in 102 more years!"
I'm not so sure that the ERA will be the 28th Amendment because there will likely be at least one try by the RINOs to make the 28A a repeal of the 22A so the Fulvous Flatulence can legally run for another term -- if he is still of sound mind and body (sound by his standards, not by medical standards). There are 19 states that are blue or lean blue, 22 states are ruby red or lean red, the balance are centrist. The centrist states include at least four stalwart defenders of democracy that would likely vote to repeal -- FL, GA, NC and PA -- and two or three that could go that direction -- AZ, NV, and WI (via https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-republican-states). Even blue state legislatures might succumb to RINO pressure and threats if the state houses are close to balanced. (Yes, I know that the New GOP numbers are a bit short of the necessary 38, but look at the number of states that broke for the Amber Ardipithecus ramidus this past election
It will take a concerted effort by the Congressional Dems to prevent this, but I don't think enough of them have the 'nads to stand in the way; they are acting like whipped curs who only want to slink away and nurse their wounds.

"by the second deadline, June 30, 1982, the ERA remained three states short of 38, with much credit to the work of Phyllis Schlafly’s “STOP ERA” movement"
Mrs Schlafly (she would *never* consider herself as a "Ms") and the rest of the "STOP ERA" were self-hating women. Schlafly was exceptionally odorous though:
"Schlafly countered by saying that Friedan and her allies were “intemperate, agitating proponents of ERA. . . so intolerant of the views of other people.” Schlafly antagonized liberal and feminist women in the audience with comments like: “I’d like to thank my husband for allowing me to speak here tonight.”
* it appears as if Schlafly never contradicted Hubby, that just wasn't proper for a woman; women... real women... obeyed, unquestioningly, every diktat from the man of the house;
* Like today's RINOs, she felt comfortable projecting her stance onto those who disagreed;
* She deemed the family as the core building block of society, ensconced in the law and the Abrahamic religions. Of course, the laws and the Bible (both Testaments) were written by men who considered women as chattel;
* Exactly where in the ERA does it say that a woman can't be a wife and mother?;
* Amongst her biggest bugaboos were a woman's right to choice, the ungodly act of gay and lesbian marriages, and women being drafted (or volunteer?) into the military. I'd wager that if she was still alive she'd be aghast at the thought of how many women are in combat positions, even though women in the military was already a thing before she passed.

Schlafly claimed to be concerned about families. I wonder how she would have reacted to the Sociopathic Marigold Swamp Monster's separation of families at the southern border?
The group of moon-faced cows opposed to the ERA are exactly what you would expect. A bunch of holier-than-thouers. What's with Mrs. Tishell on the far right?
Still, I appreciate Biden's gesture. It's certainly worlds better than new administration's forthcoming Restore Alpha-male Patriarchy and Empowerment act to repeal the 19th Amendment

Joe Biden and Major General John P. Lucas have a lot in common. Failure to launch.
What an oozing gonorrheal cunt this Shogan subhuman is.
Why does she still have that job, after four years of Biden?!?!?!?!?!?!
Why doesn’t Biden just order her to publish the amendment?
I'm not sure he could have.
Our 'system' is utterly Byzantine and it's possible it's like the fucked up USPS structure?
Hmm. Troll infestation. I'll come back once the fumigation teams have been through.

Laurence Tribe has a different take on all of this. I highly recommend that people look up his commentary from the past 1-2 days.

"Unless they're on welfare and/or not being as white as we would like" I think.
Welp, we got "Your body, our choice."
That's the story of America! People voting their privilege and bigfooting where they can. But we can keep the dream alive...so many dreams, and if/when the American electorate upgrades we'll see that freedom for a bit.
I understand that nothing more needs to be done, as far as the Constitution is concerned
IIRC, and I do, the anti-ERA talking points in the 1970s were mostly about men in women’s bathrooms. We’ve come a long way, baby.

...
Schlafly’s argument was that women’s rights were already protected under the Constitution and that the ERA would undermine the family, “the basic unit of society, which is ingrained in the laws and customs of our Judeo-Christian civilization” https://billofrightsinstitute.org/essays/phyllis-schlafly-and-the-debate-over-the-equal-rights-amendment
-and-
"What I am defending is the real rights of women," Schlafly said at the time. "A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother."
...
“That meant it was going to have to be interpreted by the courts and she—and her large number of followers—were concerned that the courts would interpret it as abortion on demand, same-sex marriage and women in the draft.” https://www.history.com/news/equal-rights-amendment-failure-phyllis-schlafly

Not THOSE families, silly.
Troll alert, btw. Ignore me. My total mistake.

We're going to change our national anthem to It's a Man's World with a picture of an asshole ripping his shirt off.
