"People who were born in privilege, always debate whether those who were not deserve equality." - Powerful as hell.
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.

"People who were born in privilege always debate whether those of us who were not deserve equality"
DIGGITY GOD DAMN that's a great line
I beg to differ that "diggity god damn" is a better line tbh
isn't it usually "god diggity damn"? But yeah. It's right up there with "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression"
Sounds like a straw man to me, but whatever.
@CurrentLee Sorry, but this is demonstrably false.Wealth is certainly the biggest contributor to privilege, but it is far from the only privilege.
@@perunalastu77 only if you don't understand what Straw Man means
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.
“It would destroy traditional male female roles”
That that’s kind of the point where we’re not servant we are equals
Hannah Currey “First they took our slaves, now they took our maids”
hmm until men start to sue government-funded women-only organizations.

@@darknes4150 Men have already sued using similar laws in England. It will happen for sure.
@BBB H you can literally go on Twitter or tumblr and find tons of women saying things along the lines of "I don't want feminism/equality anymore or I didn't actually mean it or not like this" in response to any article bringing up women potentially being forced to sign up for selective service but just keep being a two-faced ass and never be willing to admit anyone else has a point ever I'm sure that will get you far

@Jose Ojeda Are you fucking kidding? That was rhetorical.
@Jose Ojeda it doesn't. He was just pointing out that we cant expect the state of Mississippi to do something so progressive when their track record of protecting civil rights isn't exactly flattering
PS: It is a Hindu sign there whole towns in Southern Africa where the Hindus have this flags with Swatstikas outside their home's it is a religious sign in the Hindu religion. Education vitally important.

This is what happened with climate change, it became a political issue and all logic and common sense flew out the window.

How would the ERA lead to increase in abortions?
Also why are women still living in Alabama?
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.
@@StrazdasLT cool. Didnt know about this
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
"A woman's place is in the home." -- Phyllis Schlafly
"Well then, GO HOME, Phyllis!" -- Congresswoman Pat Schroeder

It just amazes me how people will compromise themselves because of religious belief, even admitting that they "belong" in the kitchen. That Schlafly is a skank.
hey if she wants to work and have a career great, i'll stay home watch the kids and she can pay the mortgage , insurance and credit cards
@@JustWasted3HoursHere As the OP cited Rep Pat Schroeder, bloody Phyllis fucking Schloffley DID NOT STAY IN HER KITCHEN. Hypocritical religious misogynist she was.
@@TheEmanExperience Why are you acting like that's unheard of? Plenty of women share equal financial responsibility with their husbands. Also, a lot of women are the main provider for their home. In fact, it's pretty difficult for a household to subsist off of a single income now. It's 2019.
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.
We must give you some good ol American FREEDOM! MWAHAHAHA
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.
In Belgium it was also included straight away. Only the women's vote came in 1920: Regular women could vote for the community council (gemeenteraad) and widows of fallen soldiers from WW1 could even vote for the Parliament.
@@elg6197 isn't that why we stole Texas?
A pleasant surprise to see Texas was for the ERA. At least we're not Alabama bad
The thing about Texas is people think they are part of the South but every so often they surprise us all by doing the exact opposite of what everyone expects. Texas is less South and more part of the West. People think they are the same but they are not. While they do agree on some things, there are ways in which the ethics/beliefs of Southerners and Western "Cowboys" do diverge. The Southern beliefs are based upon hierarchy, doing what you're told and fear-based respect. The Western beliefs are based upon mutual respect of equals, hard work and independence. Texas is really its own unique country in a lot of ways because of its history.
@@TheWBWoman yeah, Texas is where the South and Southwest meet, both geographically and culturally. It's an interesting borderland and as you said, its history can lead to some interesting decisions
I think the state reps from cities like Austin, Houston, DFW area kind of helped push Texas to ratify the ERA.
Texas had one of the heartbeat laws and it called for doctors and women who get abortions to be subject to the death penalty.
So you guys still have a long way to go bruh.
Thomas Atwood It’s been removed from the books, but at least Texas has approved the ERA. The most shocking thing on Earth.
Virginia: ...soooo, we even now?
We cool, Virginia. Thank you.

Wait did Virginia pass it? I'm from Canada so I wouldn't have heard about it, has any other of the holdout states pass it if not them?

It never ceases to amaze me how the US relies so much on "interpreting" the constitution, rather than on just fucking improving it and making it crystal clear and not open to interpretation.
Thank you!
It's because it's a trillion times harder to pass an amendment to improve it. This video demonstrates that quite clearly.
We Americans are very touchy when it comes to the Constitution
As long as attorneys and the law exists, it will always be open to interpretation. And that’s how it should be. It’s ultimately how amendments come about.
Exactly
"One of the things so obvious that we assume we already have it..."

As a child I thought USA was an awesome place where you could be whatever you wanted (because of movies) but as I grew up I saw that as many opportunities you may have, if you aren't born privileged or have an extreme amount of luck and determination, the system and the government will abandon you
Phyllis Schlafly keeping women down is no different than Marsha Blackburn staying that “women don’t want equal pay.” THIS IS STILL HAPPENING!
15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the
equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination
and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or
ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical
disability.
CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
The US has it too. I have no idea what John is talking about but there's a reason 80% of Americans thinks it already exists:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

@@daveyhouston No, no president can ratify an amendment single handedly. You, have no idea how government works.
@@FeathersMcGraw_ Nice name. So, I wrote a damn wall of text explaning everything but honestly, I will resume with the words: rights =/= priviledges or immunities.
The wall has all the history of the 14th Amendment and everything and the reason WHY some people want a better worded law... So, if you want, i'll post it/send it to you but it's really that simple.
In South Africa we go quite a bit further in our protection of human rights:
"(3) The state may not unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds, including race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth.
(4) No person may unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds in terms of subsection (3). National legislation must be enacted to prevent or prohibit unfair discrimination."

I attended a small, private, fundamentalist Christian school in the Deep South. When I first started going there, around 1978, the ERA was a hot topic among the teachers. They constantly railed against it, even going so far as to share anti-ERA literature and cartoons with the kids. There was an over-riding fear of men lurking in the women's restrooms. A lot of Phyllis Schlafly talking points. A sense of outrage that the amendment was being given so much time to be ratified.
Florida woman is tired of living in Florida.

@@aeis3007 the average citizen would not have access to privatized police force or private roads or private schools.

Florida is one of the best states to live in. Everyone talks shit about this state yet the AARP demographic comes down here to retire, the middle aged come down here to bring their bratty snot nosed kids to all the theme parks and the Gen X, Y and Zers come here to party on the beach and get alcohol poisoning.
We have some of the best beaches in the world, THE best fishing, amazing Universities, the most visited and popular theme parks in the world and weather thats 1000 times better than the shit show the rest of the USA experiences.
It's easy to talk shit about Florida based on what you see on the news, not our fault people from all over the country come here and clog it up with their stupidity.

Me, a Utahn: *Uproarious laughter followed by soul crushed sobs*
@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.
Wait, is Utahn actually what you call someone from Utah?
It's fun to think about though, if only to imagine Orrin Hatch's head exploding because of it. >:)

I wonder if that guy was making a reference to Simone de Beauvoirs "The Second Sex" (an amazing read that I highly recommend). A central theme of the book is that women have historically always been seen as "the other gender" - as a contrast to the standard male. A woman was (is?) always presented as the different one, the abnormality, despite there obviously being no 'standard gender' in nature.
If this is the case, I salute him. By showing the sentiment to us in a different context than we are used to (as a reference to men, instead of women), it becomes far easier to notice the toxicity of it. I think John Oliver's reaction to men being labeled simply as "that other sex" really illustrates how damaging this attitude is, too, and perhaps it makes it easier for us to understand how this has played a not-insignificant role in keeping women subordinate.
Or, maybe it was just a coincidence that just so happens to match my analysis really well xD

@@megnoliaedge6500 oh your right. Didn't realize that either.
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.
Nina Simone made a nice song entitled "Mississippi Goddamn"
in the netherlands literally the first law in the book says "Allen die zich in Nederland bevinden, worden in gelijke gevallen gelijk behandeld. Discriminatie wegens godsdienst, levensovertuiging, politieke gezindheid, ras, geslacht of op welke grond dan ook, is niet toegestaan." wich roughly translates " everyone in the netherlands shall be equally treated. discrimination due to religion, ideology, political idea's, race, gender or any other means shall not be accepted"

@@r0bw00d What's your point again?
14:38 "Holy SHIT, Mississippi!" yeah I learned something about MS today, and it's not terribly surprising.
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. It seems like I read about some far out law from this state every couple of years. I don't know if the conservatives and liberals compromise to pass anything or what, but there is definitely some bold experimentation worthy of national news periodically coming out of that state government.
While everyone takes notice of the confederate flag on it, I just can't help but notice the rest of the flag is Yugoslavia.
Florida, Alabama, and Georgia also have confederate inspired flags. Georgia straight up uses the flag of the confederacy with the seal of UGA added in the corner.
