Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) - Equal Rights Amendment

There’s still nothing in our constitution that explicitly prohibits sex discrimination. John Oliver talks about how to fix that.

1. Great topic!!

2. I've been ready for this since the 70s.

Phyllis Schlafly is on my personal list of super villains. One of the many, many reasons I eagerly anticipated a Clinton administration included the fact that I believe HRC would have advocated for ratification. I hope I see it passed before I die.

3. Schlafly was an a-hole and should certainly be deemed a super-villain.

Rotten, terrible person.

8. I swear I voted for the ERA in the '70s

It was one of my very first votes.

4. Whoa, you posted this six minutes before I did!

Why didn't it show on the front page? Right before I posted, I checked the front page, and it wasn't visible. It's still not visible on page 1. Had this post been visible, I'd have canceled posting my version. Sorry about that!

6. No problem.

I've been posting political videos here for a couple of years and I can never depend on whether or not they'll appear on The Latest Page. I have thought of addressing this with the admins, but Skinner already answered this question ages ago in Ask the Administrators - he called it "a glitch." But I agree that it's very disappointing when this happens and often leads to duplicates. So it's not your fault, or mine, the only solution I've managed to come up with is *fingers crossed*

7. I hope they can fix this glitch soon...
