It greatly disturbs me that the Equal Rights Amendment, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Rights_Ammendment, proposed in 1972 was not ratified, and it disturbs me even more that it has not yet been reintroduced in congress. Why is this? I can interpret it in no other way than an institutional misogyny. Do you feel the same way? Do you think it should be part of the constitution? If so, why? If, not why? Does it disturb you that it isn't part of the constitution?

Sorry, I made a mistake in the link above. Here's the correct one:

The Equal Rights Amendment Has not been Passed- this is a myth purported by those who feel it is unnecessary:
http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/

The Equal Rights Amendment is simple. It reads thusly:
Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.

Also, I'm a male.

because the basis for any civilization is order.Women are not equal to men that is why they are mounted and have hormonal mood swingsmaking them insane every month.Without a family structure their can be no community,no community no state,no state no Nation and we are being invaded.Look to nature at the family unit in birds,wolves,hell any animal.You can't blame "white man" for the biological and mental differences between man and woman and you can't force "equality" and "harmony",the weakness of American Society will be and is being over ran due to this attack on America to this feminising of the American Male

The trouble with "god-fearing" nations.

Religion is used to justify all manner of discrimination -- particularly against women and children.

A woman in the US, for example, can die for her country but she can't have equal rights guaranteed under the constitution.
