Compare and contrast any two of the assigned readings/resources (i.e, readings, podcasts, etc.), including a discussion of which you think makes the stronger argument or provides the more critical perspective. Next, apply what you’ve learned to your current or aspirational professional role. How would you use the knowledge gained this week to better your organization? Please be sure to explain your position and support your argument with research (citations are not required). You must include your own opinions in your own words, backed up by research. The podcast with Cynthia Gentile and Krista joy Niles was very informative as she outlined the history of the Equal Rights Amendment as she has come to know it. I was unaware of the ERA was originally called the Lucretia Mott amendment nor did I know that it was originally introduced in 1923 and it took 49 years for the legislation to pass in Congress. This week brought me additional knowledge to that of Phyllis Schlafly and her argument against the ERA. Phylli’s beliefs were that she was defending the rights of women, and that the constitution already protected their rights. She made statements like "A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother." This and other arguments led to her stance on “female privilege” that helped to derail movement on the amendment. The ERA was being lobbied by Alice Paul and Crystal Eastman as well as being joined by many others before the anti- feminism campaign began. After reading and listening to this week’s readings and resources in addition to my own experience, I am on the side of the ERA. I believe that there should be specificity in all law binding legislature. The 19 th

Amendment was ratified in 1920 giving women the right to vote. That ratification was the first step in establishing equality for women, there was (and still is) work to be completed on this amendment. My stance is that women deserve to be fully protected under the law, the same as men. The other case of Bostock vs Clayton County was said by the supreme court to be a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Based on what I read, this was a clear case of discrimination albeit that form of discrimination was not clearly listed in the act of 1964. It wasn’t until the 2020 decision that the court ruled that sexual orientation and gender identity are in plain text included as “sex” which is listed as a protected class.
