Everything you wrote - yes, 100%. And in the reasons for optimism column, for me, is the fact that Kamala Harris’s loss was one of the first times some of the cis, white, hetero men I know & love finally understood how deep sexism runs in this country. More understanding (& hopefully a corresponding increase in courage to act, in some way) is always good.

Women have never had full legal equality in the United States. Publication of the fully-ratified ERA must be demanded. Force those who oppose equal rights for women to defend the many ways they have stalled efforts to gain ratification, to attempt to repeal states' ratifications after passage, and to delay publishing the law. Women have waited long enough.

Belated happy mother's day! If the future is female, it will be because of people like you.
