Concerned Women for America: ERA is an Outdated Icon of Radical Feminism

CWA leader points out that women in US already have equal opportunity


WASHINGTON, Mar. 27 /Standard Newswire/ -- The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), to be reintroduced today in Congress, is not only unnecessary; it would contradict laws and government positions that were championed by feminists to give preferences to women. Concerned Women for America (CWA) strongly opposes the ERA, an outdated yet harmful icon of radical feminism.


CWA's President Wendy Wright said, "Women in America not only have equal opportunity, but access to vast and powerful remedies if discrimination occurs. The ERA is a simplistic, naïve effort that would not allow any distinction between men and women -- and is limited to actions by the government, not individuals, businesses, or private entities.


"Ironically, government offices such as the FDA's Office of Women's Health would be illegal under the ERA, and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) federal law would be unconstitutional for discriminating against men."
