Now you remind me of a saying of a college dorm-mate, a nuclear physicist with a Bronx sense of humor: she used to say, "That's so profound it's ob-scyou-ah."

Now you remind me of a saying of a college dorm-mate, a nuclear physicist with a Bronx sense of humor: she used to say, "That's so profound it's ob-scyou-ah." (obscure) Definitely the "prior agreement" between the suffragettes and Fred. Douglass was, we are on the same side. The women did not fail. Was it "nothing" that they waited FIFTY YEARS? The more I re-read your post, the less sense it makes. It is a problem to today, with suspended ratification of the ERA,(Only Mormon MEN get the prize. Male centered religion held the fort against the ERA. "From Housewife to Heretic," Sonia Johnson.) What is your idea of what lagging half of the loaf women are to settle for "resentment" now!?
I don’t think there is a one size fits all answer. It may take only a few women state legislators to provide the margin necessary for passage of the ERA. Remember the 19th amendment was ratified by a single vote cast by a young male legislator at his mother’s behest to “do the right thing”.
Usually a structural change must precede a revolutionary change. Many structural changes are the result of serendipitous events unforeseen until they happened. That’s why life is so unpredictable. Just consider how past week has unfolded.
Not everything comes out as the box already assembled. In reality most things we deal with are not only unassembled, but also lacking instructions. As the Moody Blues sang
