Specific language for he and him throughout. "That person" is used at times so it can be argued that the gender specificity is intentional.
Clarifying Amendments are the rule - so this needs clarification.
If I were to rewrite it I might write it as so:
1.) Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. 2.) All instances of gender specific references (he, him, his) in Article 1, Article 2, Amendment 14, Amendment 20 and Amendment 25 are considered gender inclusive and not gender restrictive.
Or something similar.
Once and for all. --
This is clarification - and it doesn't spell out anything extra for women. It just clarifies that women are included for all and that no gender can be discriminated against specifically for being that gender.
"Equality of rights under the law" - clarifies. --
I don't care what Bubba thinks about women - but he is not going to oppress me because of that. I don't extend that freedom to people. Being a bigoted racist needs to be controlled. I am not a social darwinist and I don't believe that we should just continue on as the pathetic animals we are. Some structure and guidance is needed and that's part of what the US is supposed to be. When I was younger I was a Libertarian party member. Right after I dropped out of the Republican party. I dropped the Libertarian party when I came to the realization that we are still far too animalistic to be allowed anarchic freedom. I don't support government getting involved in all aspects of everything and don't take support of this amendment to advocate such - but it does need clarifying - and we do need structure.
