The Equal Rights Amendment.. EXCITING!

In the United States Constitution, there is nothing saying that men and women have gender equality in society. In the 1960's, many groups of women such as NOW believed that there should be equality among the genders; They called this the Equal Rights Amendment. The equal rights amendment was a great idea to the because men and women should have equal rights, and without something government issued saying this, people and businesses can discriminate against women anyway that they chose too. In the end, 38 states were needed to approve of this too pass to be an amendment, but only 35 states chose to accept it, which ruined the amendements opportunity. I personally believe that this amendment should be reviewed because it is an idea that should be put into place because this country was built on freedom and equality.
