Going off the information you've given here, and from the website itself I think it is a great idea. Woman play just an important role in society as men.
Two things I find strange though; why has it not been passed? And secondly, why do people still want it passed? I can understand woman wanting it to be so in the 20's, but nowadays?
I don't know if it's the same in America, but in Australia we don't really have many issues with gender discrimination, I mean, females can do what ever males do here. You'll still find the old traditionalist stuck in the old ways for sure, but I don't really think it's such a problem here.
I suppose it may give piece of mind to some women. But, times are changing, the role of women in society has slowly changed and evolved, and they are no longer restricted to certain jobs. That is why I don't see a major need for it to be passed.

Lady_Elainee Do you have any idea how insulting that is? Even if it's not negative, you're still promoting stereotypes. Not every woman can be defined by "feminine beauty." And even if the media always portray men in the wrong, it's not fair for men. Also, if what you say about the media is true, that is still promoting gender roles: the convention of women having to be a wife. The Greeks may have glorified masculine beauty, but the ideals were never achieved. The Greeks have ideas for everyone. Women may have every right men have, but they still do not have rights that should be entitled to them as women. Abortion is still not legal in a number of states, though women should not be forced to give birth to a child they do not want. Passing the ERA would mean making it possible for women to win on other woman's rights issues. I don't mean every woman is beautiful, or that every woman is expected to conform to a specific type of beauty, I just mean to say that a women's beauty is given much more attention than a man's. The media isn't forcing women to become wives, it's reflecting that most women have chosen to marry. There almost is a gender role there but it's just a harmless tradition that a woman is not forced to comply with. I don't see abortion completely as a women's rights issue. I think it also has to do with a developing human's right to live. I agree that an abortion should be permitted if the baby has a very low chance of surviving, poses a direct threat to its mother's health, or is the result of rape. But other than that why should a woman have the right to terminate a pregnancy? If she didn't want a child, she shouldn't have been going around copulating.

As far as steroetypes you'll have them everywhere. Do many people actually follow them? No. Woman ARE generally wives! Its human nature, its not saying that all woman have to but most do. And excuse me, but I love my body worshipped. Abortion is not womans rights, its human rights. They're saying that that child has a right to live and if the woman did not want the baby she shouldn't have had unprotected intercourse. Rape? Thats a different ******** feminist c**t.
