“...This anonymous critic also believed that with the ERA, women would have a choice of menial jobs. Those menial jobs would deprive housewives of the few benefits of women’s work in the home, particularly the emotional satisfaction and ability to control their own time. Margaret Mead, who opposed the ERA even if she supported a wage structure for homemaking, evoked the examples of women’s roles in the Soviet Union and on the kibbutz in Israel. She complained that women there did everyone’s laundry instead of their own, explaining that women there were “beginning to say if I’ve got to do laundry I’d rather do it for love.”

According to other ERA opponents, private household labor at least had affective benefits. Congressman John G. Schmitz commented, “What a boost for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare’s proposed system of State Nurseries, when all those mothers are forced to take jobs (many of them, no doubt, as employees of the State Nurseries, where they will engage in collective child-rearing according to directives from Washington!).” Women would have the same jobs—caring for children—but now they would have federal bosses that directed them how to do them. The celebrated hallmarks of women’s work in the home would be gone. ERA opponents were also skeptical that once women worked outside the home men would take on a share of the housework, pointing out that the ERA could not actually enforce this.

A flier titled “The Power of Suggestion: How Easily Are You Fooled?” challenged readers: “And who will do the home chores? You guess.” The organization Women Who Want to Be Women argued that American women would face the same fate as Russian women who, according to the Los Angeles Times, worked “sweeping the streets, bricklaying, loading cargo ships, collecting garbage, building dams, digging ditches and mining coal . . . then she must spend at least 50% of her off-work time shopping and cooking. She can expect little help from her husband.” Similarly Senator Sam Ervin (D-NC) argued that none of the feminist utopias—he named Sweden in particular—had actually generated a system where men truly shared the housework.

ERA opponents even adopted language that already haunted feminists, indicating at a STOP ERA workshop in Springfield, Illinois, that working would only burden women with a double day. All women would be overworked. ERA opponents also noted that employed mothers would be too busy to supervise children and thereby encourage delinquency, drug use, sexual activity, and more. Anti-ERA activists suggested that the ERA’s transformations would make families resemble the most “deviant” family of all— the black family. Historian Robert Self has shown that defending breadwinner families was a means of evoking race without doing so explicitly. But ERA opponents did not always camouflage these racial fears.

One accusation was that the ERA would blur the line between white and black families via racial integration. Moody Monthly ran an article by Rosemary Thompson accusing the ERA of enabling racial integration: “the government would be authorized to involve itself in total physical and mental health of all children, their social development and nutrition by means of socio-economic racially balanced day care centers for youngsters.” Other opponents saw a precedent in the federal government’s previous actions, and particularly compared the prospect of the ERA to bussing.

Moreover, the repeated evocation of lazy husbands seemed keyed to evoke the matriarchal family so strongly imprinted on the public zeitgeist by Daniel Patrick Moynihan in his study The Negro Family. Commonly known as the Moynihan Report, it stated simply: “A fundamental fact of Negro American family life is the often reversed roles of husband and wife.” As seen above, ERA opponents predicted this same pathology for white families under ERA, but some critics made the predicted resemblance clear. For instance, the Colorado League of Housewives circulated an interview with a Labor Department official and a divorced men’s activist. In the interview, he advocated the repeal of the sex provision of the 1964 Civil Rights Act because “if males are the head of their families, they must be given the first opportunities for vocational preparation and for job opportunities.”

He then specifically evoked the Moynihan Report, suggesting that the ERA would emasculate white men as racism had emasculated black men. With women working, “lazy” men at home doing little to no work, and children unsupervised, the traditional family would quickly decay into the welfare family. Lazy men winning the homemaker role over worthy women also carried all the apparent threats of affirmative action. ERA opponents imagined that husbands and wives would now compete for the role of unwaged homemaker. In their minds, “opening” housework to men was just as upsetting as opening white-dominated jobs to nonwhites. Phyllis Schlafly actually suggested that Congress could build an automatic triggering device like the one in section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, which automatically instituted remedies if registration fell below fifty percent of the voting-age population.

Schlafly imagined that if judges gave custody of children to less than half of the men in any state, then “those states would be automatically disabled from establishing or enforcing their own child-custody laws; or, if less than 50 percent of ex-wives were paying alimony to their ex-husbands, those states would be automatically disabled from establishing or enforcing their own alimony laws.” Schlafly used conservative hostility to the Voting Rights Act to stir up opposition to the ERA. She invoked a world in which, whether married or divorced, women were not guaranteed their traditional jobs as homemakers. Instead men had the advantage in a brave new world of equal homemaking privileges. Anti-ERA activists also lumped their hostility to abortion and birth control into their opposition to the amendment.

In their view, the ERA would lead to treating all families like welfare families (that is, dominating and controlling them). It would also make it possible for the government to try to limit the number of children a family had, much as they attempted— unsuccessfully the right claimed—with welfare families. Thus while ERA opponents seemed to support punishing welfare recipients or limiting the number of children they had, they disapproved of any such imagined limitations on their own families. In their view, the ERA was a means of literally depriving traditional families of children. Like with bussing, limiting family size unfairly cost the white majority.

Congressman John Schmitz blamed feminists for sacrificing family itself, with the ultimate cost paid only by the white majority. After criticizing the prototypical feminist for refusing to stem immigration or the fertility of women on welfare, he went on to castigate one particular witness testifying on behalf of the ERA for taking “aim at the great middle-class Silenced Majority.” “‘This group must limit their families to 2.1 (children) per family,’ she told a House Committee, since it is ‘the non-poor (79%) who have 68% of the babies,’ ” reported Schmitz. “Thus the group having proportionately fewer children, and better able to care for those they have, become the illogical but ideologically understandable target of her outrage,” he concluded.

Opponents’ perception of themselves as the victims of gross violations of reproductive rights reversed any version of reality, but the threat was effective. They convinced many that the ERA would strike traditional families where it hurt the most. In the end, opponents claimed that the ERA threatened to degrade the status of many middle-class women, and their families would degrade with them. These prospects deeply frightened ERA opponents. Working demeaned wives, making them exhausted and undervalued. Being treated like welfare mothers was even worse, however, as it implied that otherwise traditional white women were as irresponsible as the black women who stereotypically received welfare. In both cases, the implications of the loss of a traditional household would affect children and the family itself.

Traditional homemaking could not survive government interference, and the traditional family could not survive without homemakers. If opponents cast “traditional” families as the ERA’s losers, they also identified two sets of ostensible elites—wealthy women and the homosexual family— as its winners. Some ERA opponents claimed only elite women wanted the ERA because it would shore up their own already-healthy incomes. Margaret Mead claimed that only middle-class white women supported the amendment to the detriment of black and white working women. Mead was shaped by the earlier, 1920s-era debate about the ERA, in which the ERA was pitted against protective labor legislation for women, but she was not alone.

Reflecting the successful mobilization of class anxieties to oppose the ERA, one woman, writing to Senator Sam Ervin, claimed that all the women she knew who hoped to gain employment rights through the ERA lived in “$65 thousand and way up homes.” She argued that simply learning to live on their husbands’ salaries, rather than filling existential gaps with material goods, would help these women spiritually and protect homemakers. Another letter writer from Raleigh, North Carolina, feared, “the women in favor of ERA are educated women that can do paper work and sit behind desks, they are not women that work in mills through out N.C. or who are waitresses, or maids or any other tasks that keep this great civilization of ours going.” Similarly, one couple from Freeport, Illinois, claimed that only women with college degrees wanted the ERA.

Professional women’s employment was having a dramatic effect on household income during this time. By 1983, the median weekly income for a one-earner family was $354 but $646 for dual-earner families. Of course, we cannot assume that all the one-earner families involved a male breadwinner supporting a female homemaker. Single-parent households, most of which were headed by women, increased dramatically during this time period. Presumably, woman-headed households reduced the average income of single-earner families. Nonetheless two-income families clearly made gains over one-income families—including those with a breadwinner-homemaker makeup. This reversed the pattern that had previously marked a working wife as “a family’s badge of lower-class status.”

Increasingly the families with the highest incomes had two earners rather than one: “From March 1950 to March 1970, the overall percentage of husband-wife families with wife in the paid labor force has risen from some 25 per cent to 40 per cent. In the $10,000- and-over income bracket, the increase was from 2 per cent to 50 per cent.” A family’s income had the potential to change dramatically during this era, almost solely depending on whether the household had two earners or not. Such income differentials were visible at the time. A journalist for the Family News and Features asked its readers if they had “been noticing lately that your next-door neighbor has acquired a color TV set, a new car and is refurnishing his home?” The article suggested, perhaps the neighbor had been lucky on the stock market, won the lottery, received an inheritance, “or his wife may have gone back to work. In all likelihood, the last alternative fits the bill (or, foots the bill, if you prefer).”

Keeping up with the Joneses had an all new set of rules as wives’ financial contribution helped some families shift to or stay in the middle class. Therefore the incomes of two-earner families began to diverge sharply from the incomes of breadwinner-only families. Critics also claimed that gay and lesbian couples would win the right to marry while the silent majority of wives would lose homemaking privileges. These critics characterized the ERA as taking privileges from traditional couples—and particularly women—and giving them to gay and lesbian couples. The elevation of gay families was a boogeyman that opponents highlighted in order to make the loss of “traditional” family dominance even more galling. Most succinctly, the Phyllis Schlafly Report and the Illinois Small Businessmen’s Association both argued that only gay men and lesbians would profit from the ERA.

Similarly, a STOP ERA pamphlet warned “pregnant, ill, poor, minority, or disadvantaged” women that ERA propaganda would not help women but instead would take their rights and give them to homosexuals. The small San Francisco–based AWLL believed the ERA took away rights for men and women while giving marriage and adoption rights to gay couples. As other historians have argued, conservatives believed that the ERA would grant homosexual couples the right to marry after gay couples’ Fourteenth Amendment claims seemed to fail. Courts, perhaps following ERA proponents’ cues, rejected the claims that the Fourteenth Amendment granted homosexuals the right to marry.

For instance, Richard Baker initiated the first gay marriage case with James McConnell in Minnesota on the basis of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1971. The case made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court but was dismissed for want of a significant legal question. Therefore the Minnesota Supreme Court’s ruling—that what the couple proposed was not a marriage—stood. Similarly, Richard Adams tried to claim his Australian partner, Anthony Corbett Sullivan, as his dependent in order to give Sullivan American citizenship after procuring a marriage license from a Colorado clerk. Again courts refused to recognize the license. ERA opponents insisted that the rulings in these cases would violate the Constitution if the amendment were ratified.

This was most strikingly apparent in Senator Sam Ervin’s introduction of an amendment to the ERA before it left Congress. As discussed in Chapter 1, Ervin had initiated a set of hearings on the ERA to highlight how it would injure women, but he also tried to prevent the possibility that the ERA would legalize gay marriage. His amendment stated, “this article shall not apply to any law prohibiting sexual activity between persons of the same sex or the marriage of persons of the same sex.” Ervin believed that barring marriages between two men or two women constituted sex discrimination under an ERA. Congress rejected the amendment, not because its members embraced gay marriage, but because they saw Ervin’s fears as an example of inauthentic grandstanding.

Other ERA opponents agreed with Ervin that the amendment would legalize gay marriage. They saw ERA proponents’ arguments that gay men and lesbians were excluded equally from gay marriage as the sort of faulty reasoning recently overturned in Loving v. Virginia. As the Illinois Eagle Forum argued, “A Supreme Court decision overturned laws forbidding interracial marriages, even though the laws apply equally to blacks and whites. This same ruling will apply to homosexual marriages.” In a pamphlet, the Mormon Church cited the January 1973 Yale Law Journal to argue that the ERA would necessarily legitimize gay marriage. State representative William G. Batchelder argued during the ratification process in the Ohio legislature that Loving v. Virginia provided a clear parallel to any statute prohibiting marriage on the basis of sex. His fellow Ohio legislators disagreed and ratified the amendment.

But lawmakers in Florida allegedly cited the danger of homosexual marriage as a reason not to ratify the amendment. ERA opponents also argued that homosexual couples could adopt children once the state sanctioned gay marriage. One small anti-ERA group, the League of Housewives, speculated: “And if these couples ‘marry,’ will they not be eligible to adopt children, as are normal married couples?” To prove the point, the pamphlet pointed to a gay Minnesota couple whose applications to several adoption agencies were still pending. Another pamphlet from ERA Illinois made use of Pat Buchanan’s assertion that the amendment would immediately yield a constitutional right to adopt.

Even Illinois state representative Betty J. Hoxsey jumped in, warning the Illinois Moral Majority that gay couples might adopt children under the ERA. In their view, gay marriage represented a moral challenge to traditional values, and children adopted into a gay family promised the acceptance of deviant lifestyles by the very young. On the surface, the competition from gay families was simply moral competition. The Eagle Forum declared, “We support the family as the basic unit of society, with certain rights and responsibilities, including . . . the right to defend the institution of the family by according certain rights to husbands and wives that are not given to those choosing immoral lifestyles.”

The Eagle Forum felt that reserving rights to the traditional family was the only way to ensure the preservation of the traditional family form. The Texas group the Association of Women Who Want to be Women agreed: “WE BELIEVE . . . that families form the building blocks of a prosperous and stable society, and we endorse the Biblical family structure, including . . . the right of families to be given by law certain protections and privileges not granted to those choosing other lifestyles.” ERA opponents experienced any concession to gay rights as a visceral reversal to the moral order. ERA opponents also argued that gay couples posed a fiscal threat to silent majority families.

Ervin introduced the theme of fiscal competition early in the debate about the Equal Rights Amendment. He offered the hypothetical of a gay marriage solemnized by Rev. Troy Perry, the Los Angeles founder of the Metropolitan Community Church already known for officiating at gay weddings: “[He] performs a marriage ceremony between two men, one of whom let’s say, is a movie star, makes a lot of money. They live together as man and wife for 4 years, during which the movie star makes several million dollars. Then they break up and the one who was performing the wifely function comes to court and he says we were married. This is a community property State and I want my half of the income which you earned in the 4 years of our marriage. A woman could claim that half and I have a right to claim that half.”

Divorce would reveal the rights and obligations of gay spouses, according to Ervin, and among those would be wifely privileges for gay men. Ervin rejected the idea that a “wife” could be a man. In Ervin’s view, it should be biological femaleness, not household labor, that earned a “wife’s” privileges. But it is also notable that Ervin selected the most elite gay man he could imagine—a Hollywood star. Implicit in this choice was the suggestion that the silent majority of wives would lose their homemaker privileges, but elite gay househusbands would not. ERA opponents also argued that traditional families would lose if the government extended tax and inheritance privileges to gay men and lesbians. Schlafly’s various outlets spoke as one on this. The Illinois Eagle Forum worried that tax and inheritance rights “allowed normal married couples will also be allowed homosexuals.”

For Phyllis Schlafly, the ERA not only legalized gay marriage but also gave gay couples the right to file joint income tax returns. STOP ERA was angered that the ERA would “permit such ‘couples’ . . . to get tax and homestead benefits [then] given to husbands and wives.” It was outrageous because it implied that “deviant” couples were the equivalent of “normal” couples, at least as far as tax law was concerned. Psychologist Robin Smith referred to the tax breaks and the other financials boons of marriage as a “bounty” society paid couples for reproduction; gay marriage threatened to extend that bounty to gay couples without the same services rendered.

In a debate on gay marriage hosted out of WGBH radio station in Boston, the opponent of gay marriage asked the advocate whether “the concept of a legal marriage for the homosexual is nothing more than an excuse to secure for that individual certain tax and property advantages.” In other words, some of the ERA opponents that generally opposed taxation as a government burden on free individuals supported higher taxes for gay families. As taxes pressed on families more and more amid rising inflation, ERA opponents were concerned that gay and lesbian families would strain the federal government’s resources even further by drawing their own tax and homestead benefits. Gay couples represented the same kinds of threats as welfare mothers or any other deviant group that drew on the federal government’s resources.”

Happy National Selfie Day! Illinois artist and educator Patrick Earl Hammie's "selfies" in DECAHEDRON are epic.

His statement:

The works included are from "Birth Throes," a project where Hammie asked himself, “Who carries our family’s stories and where are they culturally remembered?” They examine Black familyhood’s capacity to traverse tragedy, longing and joy, and add to culture. The works are informed by Hammie's birth and lineage, using delivery, death, and prophecy to personalize intergenerational acts of survival, innovation, rebellion, and hope. After Breonna Taylor’s and George Floyd’s deaths, and being isolated inside during the COVID-19 pandemic, Hammie completed the most recent work, "Self Portrait 1981," as a way to remember that he is valuable, with a past and present, and continues to fight for a future.

Here:

Portraits of Carolyn and Ervin Hammie (2019), oil on linen, 36 x 60 in.

Stillborn (2017), pastel and charcoal on linen, 30 x 30 in.

Midwife (2017), oil on linen, 96 x 70 in.

Untimely Ripp'd (2017), oil on linen, 96 x 70 in. (Work Cited: Fadhley, Salim (2014). “Caesarean section photography”. Wikiversity Journal of Medicine)

540 Local Elected Officials From All 50 States Urge Prez Trump to Import More Refugees to U.S.

Joe Biden has promised to make this happen, including taking in foreigners from terrorist hotspots around the world. In fact, Joe Biden was one of the original architects of the fraud-ridden refugee program that has destroyed neighborhoods across the U.S.

by Ann Corcoran

I told you here that the refugee industry was working on a letter to the President urging him to get the refugee flow into America moving again.

Yesterday they sent the letter with 540 signatories.

Says Amnesty International:

By signing this letter, these elected officials have joined together to voice their commitment to welcoming refugees in their communities and reviving the United States’ legacy as a leader in refugee resettlement.

I notice something missing from the letter. It avoids giving the President a number, but the industry has made it very clear!

They want 95,000 refugees to begin arriving on October first.

The President could make a decision this month on how many refugees might be invited to live in the US in FY2021. He could also legally set the ceiling at zero.

All of my posts on the topic are tagged FY2021.

Here are the signatories from yesterday. The list is handy for identifying those local elected officials who are changing America by changing the people.

I don’t know why the organizers think that these open borders advocates will hold any sway with the President, but they sure make it handy for you to identify the other side where you live. Target them for retirement when they come up for re-election!

(For a little additional fun, see last year’s list here.)

They say the list is bipartisan, but there is no indication of party affiliation. You will need to look through those listed in your state to see if Republicans are among those looking to import more poverty to your city.

[Find your state in the list below the fold]

August 9 - Playing Video Games

LEGENDARY!! It's really legendary for your mental well-being if you take a break and do what makes you happy. For me playing video games helps me enjoy my free time. It also helps me vent out my frustrations and improve my overall mood. It relaxes me and makes me happier. Playing video games gives me a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. When I beat a challenging game, I feel like I have done something that a lot of people thought I would never be able to do.
