I’m sorry, I think I woke up on the wrong decade…nay…the wrong centruy. If one can actually believe this bale of doohicky, there is an honest to goodness elected official in Kansas who introduce a bill to amend the Kansas Constitution with an Equal Rights Amendment.
I didn’t know things were so bad for the fairer sex (oops, can I say that if the amendment passes?). But I suppose for Marla Patrick, statewide coordinater for the Kansas National Organizatin of Women (NOW). She things we are still living in the stone age or something.
“Women should not have to fight for their rights with every changing political cycle,” Patrick said. “It is unconsionable that women are denied full constitutional rights when they are equally contributing members of our society.”
Maybe I don’t see it. Maybe the whole being a man thing gets in the way. But where are women denied any constitutional rights? Where are women being oppressed and living without due process? Where is this taking place? Is this part of the evolution thing Kansas is so nationally known for? How are women fighting for rights with every political change? Doesn’t Kansas have a woman governer?
