It's sad that I'm nearly 50 and haven't heard this quote yet. I mean, I'm glad I finally got to it...and have the freedom to let that statement sink in. It just shouldn't have taken this long.
It's as bad as the same sentiment when it comes to wage equality. "The largest crime of the wealthy is that they have convinced the poor to defend a class they do not belong to."
The reason you haven't heard of it, because it was very recently said by Sen. Pat Spearman (D), during the debate over the ERA this year. Also, Kodi please cite your sources, and "powerful as hell" is not helping anyone determine anything, but your personal opinion about the quote. I also feel you should probably be giving more credit to the woman who said it, rather than giving her a 4 syllable anonymous suck off in the form of unneeded complement that isn't even directed at her, but the words she said. This lack or sources completely strips away the humanity and the background of this quote for all we know this quote could have been written by Stalin, Hitler, or it may be even wasn't made by a person it could have been put randomly together using an algorithm.
If it weren't for feminists which came before her, Phyllis Schafly wouldn't have the platform to advocate against women's rights. Irony to the highest degree.
@@xilrondo2907 bei g that youve repeatedly trolled on this video, your litle rant makes itself irrelevant. Most women did supoort feminist movements. I. Fact , the group yph aresayi g didnt, often daid thsoe who were co sidered radical were simply fighting for tje wrong rights of the time. Laws were still demanding women legally curtail to their husbands, and wanted this abolished before fifgting for working rights. Before the suffrage movement in Maerica, women were beaten i tje streets for holding speeches of change. A woman was beatento near death by her husband, and when she left him in tje middle of tje night with her children, she was thrown in prison for abandoning her family. She was raped and killed by a gaurd. But you know what was more important at the time in the men's government? The formation of the National Gaurd and how to limit gun powers to citizens. So, at least when women want an amendment done it doesn't take more than 110 years.
@@DepressinglyOptimistic "Opposing votes for women may seem surprising today, but anti-suffrage views dominated among men and women through the early twentieth century. Suffragists had national organizations since 1869, but anti-suffragists did not found their own group until 1911. Before organizing, suffrage opponents bonded without an official institution. Artists created political cartoons that mocked suffragists. Religious leaders spoke out against women’s political activism from the pulpit. Articles attacked women who took part in public life. Even without a coordinating institution, opposition to suffrage remained popular." - crusade for the vote org perhaps before running your mouth you might research even a tad about what was said?
@@xilrondo2907 research a tad? I have a minor in history and women's studies. Every political movement has opposition, so you trying to use that as an arguemnt that women were against suffrage and feminism is moot. Even Phyllis Schlafly was on the fence about feminism, until she was convinced by conservatives that it would take away her priviligaed life as a housewife. She wasn't agaisnt women's rights in the work place, she was brainwashed into thinking she was being forced to work. Yet, while she was fighting women's rights and the ERA (thinking this would disintergrate gender roles which was happening either way), she also ended up fighting for disenfranchised and abused wives, which ran right along the wave of feminism. Anyone can look up suffrage opposition and get the information you just spouted off, from the first google page. The main arguemnt of anti-suffragism was that women wanted full freedom within their home, not an actual vote, and were simply making a piunt to men. So you repeatedly trying to back your sexist arguemnt that women were largely anti-feminist is based of a complete lie. Either wau women wanted more control in their lives, they were just fighting for it from 2 different battles. States were passing laws allowing women to vote long before the federal government ever did, and women were turning up to the voting booths in droves. In fact, in New Jersey, before a ratifixation of the state amendment in 1807, women had the vote in state and local matters. It wasnt a new issue out of nowhere that radicalists wanted to jsut cause a hooplah over. And, political cartoons...Really? Everything being fought by any federal power has political cartoons. Especially skmethignthat goes against the norms of those innpower at the time.
@@DepressinglyOptimistic dude, no one believes you have a degree of any kind, i quite literally just directed you to a site all about a specific movement (the suffrage) in the U.S saying "most women supported it" is a straight up lie, funny how you say anyone can simply google it, then call it bullshit fine though, give me a source that most women supported the right to vote. since apparently history is wrong and you're right, prove it. CRF is wrong, womenshistory is wrong, crusade for the vote is wrong, news articles are wrong, survey's dating fromt he time are wrong so by all means mr "i have a degree therefore am right" WHERE is your source?, it should be quite easy to show no?
@@DepressinglyOptimistic while not relevent towards the U.S here's a fun one During the early 20th century there was widespread public support for anti-suffragism, yet modern histories have generally focused upon the triumphant suffragists and suffragettes rather than upon their defeated opponents. Initially the opponents of women’s suffrage were ridiculed by suffragist opponents and their reputation has been further diminished by historical neglect. Millicent Fawcett wrote in 1912 of the ‘inherent absurdity of the whole position of anti-suffrage women’, while Ray Strachey, one of the first historians of suffragism, claimed that the organised anti-suffrage leagues ‘soon began to afford great delight and comfort to their opponents by the ineptitude and futility of their ways’. It suited the suffragists to portray a laughably ineffective opposition dominated by misogynistic men, rather than acknowledge the predominance of fellow women within a large and well-organised anti-suffrage movement" - BL granted this was from the U.K, but the same shit played out across the board, fuck it's still playing out in some countries (such as SA), and to a lesser degree many asian countries who view traditional roles as important whether you like it or not, feminists were never supported, they had "victories" but those victories weren't really theirs, they were motivated by other factors, such as political power for a specific party and you don't get to rewrite history to suit your desires.

This is the first article of the Dutch Constitution: Article 1 All persons in the Netherlands shall be treated equally in equal circumstances. Discrimination on the grounds of religion, belief, political opinion, race or sex or on any other grounds whatsoever shall not be permitted. We've had a form of this article since 1798.
Mexico constitution was written to end slavery and any slave that enters the country becomes free, and nobody should be treated with less right or dignity on the case of race, gender, nor religion... it took a civil war in US to end slavery and treating others with less dignity is protected by the first amendment. ERA will probably wait unfortunately. Edit: article 2 is the ban of slavery, and article 4 is the equal rights/dignity for genders. Here's a copy for whoever is curious: pdba.georgetown.edu/Constitutions/Mexico/mexico1917.html
In Sweden we have article 12 and 13: Art. 12. No act of law or other provision may imply the unfavourable treatment of anyone because they belong to a minority group by reason of ethnic origin, colour, or other similar circumstances or on account of their sexual orientation. Art. 13. No act of law or other provision may imply the unfavourable treatment of anyone on grounds of gender, unless the provision forms part of efforts to promote equality between men and women or relates to compulsory military service or other equivalent official duties.

You should absolutely be "so sick of living here" when even Texas and Tennessee have ratified a women's rights ammendment which your own state still hasn't
Let me troll you: If we cannot discirminate by sex than both parents must have equal right to abortion. Currently ony one sex has exclusive rights to decide what happens. If we assume fathers want abortion in same number of cases as mothers, ERA would double abortions.
@@StrazdasLT you kinda make a valid point but I think the reason women get to decide whether or not to abort is because they have to carry the fetus in their womb for the better part of a year. I guess the father should have some say if he wants to abort but the mother doesnt, but that's kinda murky territory
@@gautamvaze1101 There were suggestions that fathers should have a right to "financial abortion", which is to say that if the father expresses desire for abortion before child is born but the mother still has a child, the father does not need to pay for it. This would allow the women to do what they want with theri bodies but would also ensure at least closer to equal rights to abortion.
Strazdas makes the excellent point where if anything, abortions might be banned in such an equal rights amendment becuase only one gender can physically conduct them
@Mark Shamy As a Mormon myself, I found it a terribly bitter pill to swallow, learning that Utah's government officials are just as prone to corruption and hypocrisy as those of any other state. It's like, "Why are you supporting Trump, he's a monster according to our religion's values. He uses hate speech and playing on America's ego and selfishness to achieve his goals." It was so nice finding out that we advocated rights for homosexual partnership, even if we take/took issue with gay marriage. That's the sort of Mormon legislature I have complicated but general approval for. Maybe it could happen if people got their heads out of their butts about this and ignored their *cultural* "Mormonism" and viewed it through the lens of the values of our doctrine. Hope springs eternal and all that... Of course, what do I know. I'm a Democrat-leaning Independent living in Wisconsin.
I'm in Utah and if the Mormon Church would get behind this it could happen. In the 1970s they fought it. Perhaps enough women like me would now stand up and demand to be treated equally under the law.

Well buckle up because Mississippi is worse than that, the last attempted LEGAL sale of a human occurred in 2005. A crackhead was trying to sell her daughter to a cop and they found out that a) Mississippi never ratified the 13 or 14 amendments and b) only outlawed the sale of adults specifically. So the mother walked free, but the sale of children was corrected a few weeks later and the 13 amendment ratified shortly after... and then the AG of the state (a diehard republican) hid the documents in his desk and never filed them with the US government (as is his job) during the entire time he was in office... literally it took a school child in 2015 to inform the AG at the time that "no, it wasn't ratified", to which he disagreed only to find out the kid was right. He then searched the old desk and found the paperwork and submitted it immediately. Mississippi at it's finest.
9 out of 10 voters in the most liberal part of Mississippi actually voted to retain that state flag design several years ago. It was the widest margin in the entire state, in an overwhelming desire to keep using that flag. In short, don't count on Mississippi making this history. The last time Mississippi voters made significant history was when they were the first state in the south to legalise casino operations. Mississippi is legally the only state that has a federally legal marijuana grow operation, so maybe their is still hope for them to set an example for the rest of "the south" and even the rest of the country on that front by legalising some marijuana for all adults 18 and older. California doesn't even go that far. I don't know much about Mississippi, but those people have some bizarre political ideals.

Utah and Arizona are by no means progressive states, but that is one exclusive club I really don't think they belong in. C'mon guys I have faith in the both of you.
I literally just went over this in my history course. The south ironically voted it down due to evangelicals and the passing of Roe V. Wade. Also phylis. There was a wonderful clip of her being pied and cried through it.
The likelihood of ratifying the ERA from greatest to least as of this episode: 1. Virginia 2. Arizona 3. North Carolina 4. Skeletor 5. That dude who always screams when his football team doesn't win 6. A stale bag of Funyuns 7. The Mirror Universe Terran Empire from Star Trek 8. Every other state shown on the stage
@@ellsworth1956 True. But on the other hand: voted for Obama in 2008, almost voted for him again in 2012, came close to voting for Hillary in 2016 and now has a Democratic Governor. So, yeah. It could happen.
She’s referring to the Judgment of Solomon, where King Solomon of Israel ruled between two women both claiming to be the mother of a child. Solomon revealed their true feelings and relationship to the child by suggesting to cut the baby in two, with each woman to receive half. She was trying to get the Christian Right on this.
"I'm so tired of living here." As a Floridian, I find myself saying that frequently. We do things like ban offshore drilling, and in the same breath we'll allow expansion of fracking into the Everglades. Florida is the most purple of the purple states. It's so confusing to live here.
@@mikehauncho4874 I mean, they're going to be a burden on the system anyway, why not give them the cheaper preventative care, in hopes that you can prevent them from being an even bigger burden? If you recall, it's illegal for a public hospital to turn away an uninsured patient. So, that just increases the costs to insurance, and then eventually the cost to you and me. At least California is working on a way of paying for the inevitable, that doesn't involve a middleman making a profit.
In state legislatures, it's not really purple because of gerrymandering that occurred in 2010. Even though Florida is split basically 50-50 in terms of democrat/republican, Republicans have a 71-46 control in the house of representatives due to the gerrymandering.
@@Josh-sv7wj I hear what you are saying, but I disagree. This further incentivizes people to make the life threatening journey to come to America. We currently can't provide for the legal people of this country and should never prioritize illegals over legals. All so we can pay these people slave wages for back-breaking work, and we can get avocados for $1.
I'm from Virginia. Both chambers of our state legislatures have a one-seat Republican majority. Statewide elections are this November and we've been trending Democratic since 2008. This could happen.
I'm a Virginian that will be able to vote for the first time this year in a Republican district with a Democratic candidate who is extremely pro-ERA and I will certainly be doing my part to help VA make history
Virginia of those states seem the most likely. Arizona second. Florida with ex felons voting...maybe. The rest: forget it. They're more progressive minded in their big cities and that's it.
*Not if 'certain interests' can find ways to disenfranchise any support foranything they 'don't like'*( *think I'm wrong because of 'Votes?'* *No...if 'Votes' mattered, Clinton would be in the 'WH' now instead of a fucking 'Carnival Barker'* )
I lived in Texas for a long time, and I really understood why so many Texans absolutely LOVE Texas. Now I live in Florida, and I really understand why so many Floridians absolutely HATE Florida.
I have heard Texas is misunderstood. Yes, overall, it is a red state. But that's due to its sweeping rural and farm areas. As long as you're in or near large cities -- Austin, Dallas, San Antonio -- you're surrounded by more progressive thinking. And with that, I still put Texas on the table for states to move to in my lifetime (specifically Austin, that place looks great). But Florida? Stay out, unless you live in Miami.
@@cincybengals101 I'm a native Texan from one of those liberal pockets and you're absolutely right - a lot of shit comes out of our state, but it's beautiful and full of amazing culture, and I am very proud of it. Except when its politicians give me reason not to be. Shape up, Texas, I mean, really.
I had no clue or even heard of this Lady.....guess it's a good thing for those back in the day that Social Media as we know it today was not around in their time...she would have been all over it I'm afraid and on a daily basis too probably! Cheers Ratz
@@bobbysworld281995 two Corinthians literally start with Peter saying that was he was saying were his words and that neither Jesus or the prophets have Say anything about "the laws". How could people read it and not get that???
@OrganicEcstasy I just mean because they kept their shameful past on the flag. Kinda speaks to the mindset. It's prejudice but like with the nazi flag, there is just no way to defend it.
Thanks, John, for bringing this amendment back into the light of day. It's really a no-brainer and ought to be passed asap. Maybe your spotlight will help.
@@ericlurio246 Except that you can't ACTUALLY rescind a ratification, which has been repeatedly debated and upheld that Article V only speaks of the state power to Ratify not rescind. As John pointed out the deadline is more of a guideline than anything else, as it can be extended or stated that the deadline can remain inconsequential to the overall passing of the amendment.
The equality act is actually a dangerous piece of legislation. It allows transgender girls(who are biologically boys) to compete in female competitions. We practically have men competing. Doesn't matter, we are just going have to let you fools suffer the consequences of your own narrow minded views.
@@whateverbro3848 I agree that having Trans individuals competing in gender specific events or competitive leagues present a particular issue regarding the way in which society itself understands the nuance of gender as it is tied with sex. While gender is not inherently tied to sex, it is also not mutually exclusive and even within trans identities there is a heavy slant towards bi-modal identification; which is to say trans often identify as the sex by which they were not born biologically vs. simply deciding to be a sex from one day to another. There are those who do, but to fully unpack that here is probably not best, though ultimately a necessary conversation itself. That said, it shouldn't be the grounds by which you deny basic human right and decency as a foundation for which you can then address the discrepancy you have mentioned. That is where the logic leap makes no sense. I agree that this is something to be addressed, but it can't be addressed before having some kind of fundamental baseline by which we all understand each other as human beings. By all means suggest the amendment be fine tuned, but the amendment in itself is a framework by which we can then fine tune the legislation around it. You can't fine tune an engine that does not exist. edit: to better explain bi-modal
I never knew about the ERA being a thing in the 1970s, it's really something that should've been taught in AMERICAN History in school. After watching Mrs. America, I have never hated a person (Phyllis Schlafly) so much in my life.
@@j.scottwilliams7400 Living in Texas, I can tell you for certain, Oklahoma would be joining Texas in the Gulf. Over 250,000 square miles of vacuum here. Much of it contained within human skulls.
Yes, that's still our flag. And out of the 3-4 million people who live in Mississippi, 2/3s of us want it changed. Some of us aren't racist sexist pieces of shit, I promise
It's the only state will the balls to keep it, but also to not provide municipal water to millions of poor people. They should probably focus on the water thing first.
@@Keihryon it's a reminder that incestuous meth ridden twat waffles like you weren't drowned at birth which is the reason why this place is a shithole.
Nothing about it has any linguistic similarity to the native languages spoken in Eastern Europe, so get your bigoted comment back where you pulled it from! Not to mention the current political state of the countries in that (geographical) area at the time, which make your comment even more ridiculous and so incredibly unfunny.
"it would destroy traditional man-woman relationships"...? WTF?! If your model of ideal man-woman relationships is _dependant_ on a reliance of women _not having equal rights _*_under law_* - then it's your model that is out of wack man - not the constitutional amendment proposal. If this is truly a law of _equality,_ then I imagine we'll be repealing and rewriting a tonne of family law as unconstitutional too, to make fathers equal right parents. There's a lot of gender inequality going around in our laws, that hopefully will be rewritten to establish real equality where possible, regardless of what way each law currently tips.
That is exactly what they think, though. They live in a world where women, because they're women, "belong" first to their fathers and then to their husbands, and woe to anyone who tries to change that including the woman in question.
@Leah Dijon Several states have had pushes made to enshrine in law that in cases of contested custody the default position should be equally shared custody unless there's a good reason for it to be otherwise (a rebuttable presumption of shared custody). The National Organization For Women (the largest feminist lobby group in the US) deems those supporting these groups the "abuser's lobby" and argues that the only reason men would want such a law in place is because they are abusers and want to use their children as a way to further abuse a victim who had escaped them. So, yeah.
Germany did this already after WW2, our legalisation did rewrite alot after the constituion law about same rights of woman and men . The Weimarer cosntituion already had it, but it was equality not equal rights. So they had to change old weimarer and german empire laws that broke the new constiutional law. There is only one law on mandatory draft only for men thats against the equaly rights law, but it was put on halt in 2011. There has been no draft after 2011 in germany. The weimarer Verfassung actually was one of the most progressive constiution at that time, many people forget that because of the Nazis. The constiution had some major loopholes, which gave them the power to legally supress human rights. (Ultimate power to the president in terms of national tragedy, humand rights at the end of the bill etc) I mean its not suprising that newer democratic countris have far more progressive constitutions, because people writing those new ones, have far more information and can easily abolish old and stupid laws. The USA has the oldest democratic constitution in the world, ofc alot of the passages are outdated and need rewriting and fixing. Some eastern european countries even got more progressive democratic constituion like latvia, estonia or lituhiana, some like poland do not. The conclusion is, the us constituion needs an update for the 21 century.
I understand. I really do. Progress should be recognized, and that includes having to air your dirty laundry. Instead of mocking this, we really should be celebrating, or at least supporting this. Keep up the good work Derrick!
Actually, the last Democratic Governor of Mississippi had held a referendum for an alternative state flag, but it was clearly defeated. There's not much hope that this will change soon.
