How high and mighty our “petty” officials have become as to prescribe how patriotism must be done.
OR how women must live their lives – forcing motherhood on those whose true potential may lie in finding a cure for cancer or averting a world war as President.
Absurd.
Indeed the world has forfeited untold peace and prosperity in those lost contributions of women. Centuries upon centuries of progress squandered by stealing the Free Will of Women to DO and DREAM great things.
Instead, pop culture tinged with religious overtones occupies her mind and heart with the insurmountable task of people-pleasing. Always put others before self. Never question authority. Tread lightly in a man’s world. Beauty is power. That MENtality begs for opposition.
United 4 Equality has been challenging conventional wisdom since 2009 following Hillary Clinton’s defeat at the hands of sexism and misogyny. Our goal: to elevate the collective conscience to welcome, celebrate and further women’s myriad contributions to society.
We have taken a stand against forfeiting the #EqualRightsAmendment by proposing legislation to remove an arbitrary deadline imposed by small-minded politicians on the Left and Right 45 years ago.
Our sole focus remains on building cosponsors in Congress one-by-one-by one.It’s been eight years now. A 36th state has ratified the ERA. Still the news media ignores us. Meanwhile we marvel at the fecklessness of those who continue to say that removing a deadline is impossible.
We say humanity is dying. The world cannot sustain itself in the hands of Patriarchy any longer.
While they push back to Start Over, we push forward to the finish line. To win the ERA with two states by 2020 before the Suffrage Centennial.
Truthfully, in politics more hope is lost than won. The odds may be against us. But in pressing on against the daily slog of ignorance, fear, apathy and skepticism surrounding equality for women, one begins to understand more fully what it means to be a Patriot.
Defending one’s truth in the face of adversity for the promise of freedom.
And so the legacy of our Foremothers and fathers lives on…
