They understood that shared equality also means shared responsibility and they also understood that equality in opportunity does not necessarily mean equality in outcome. I thought the ERA was nothing short of true brilliance. It demands true meaningful equality by insuring that any government law offers no privilege to either sex. It was a counter to men who claimed that feminists were asking for their own privilege. They could simply point to the ERA as their own personal bullshit call to anyone to claimed as much.
