American women are only partial citizens

There is no equal protection under the law for women (the Equal Rights Amendment failed), and Republicans are reinstituting their brand of slavery, to the majority of Americans. Hard to believe in 2022. How backward are we?

but there was no forward motion after we got all the states, FINALLY, to push it through.

We need everyone invested in making us full citizens. It is supremely upsetting that we were not a priority with this looming in the background. It is my opinion that many if not most men could care less about our problems. I mean really, they have their rights codified aren't we supposed to be happy and content knowing they would protect us, take care of us. *I keep hearing that but then I am not living with the most progressive people on the planet*

What is happening would be much harder or perhaps impossible if our government had worked on getting that through.
