I know nothing about you. I will stand by what i said about The American Bar Association (ABA) recognizing that the Equal Rights Amendment has cleared all necessary hurdles to be formally added to the Constitution as the 28th Amendment. Why would I defer to your opinion over the ABA? Are you yourself against the ERA? Is that your agenda?…

Why would I defer to your opinion over the ABA? Are you yourself against the ERA? Is that your agenda? If it is, I don't really care, because your opposition to it is meaningless to me.
I'm not opposed to the ERA. Quite the opposite. But I am also in favor of constitutionalism, and opposed to presidents summarily declaring things (which I expect to be a real problem in the near future).
Apart from the guess about hypothetical Supreme Court rulings, nothing I've said here is my opinion; most of it is in the wikipedia article on the history of the proposed amendment, and well documented elsewhere. For example, NOW - a major part of the original movement to get the amendment through Congress - gives their chronology of the effort at https://now.org/resource/chronology-of-the-equal-rights-amendment-1923-1996/
. Notice the entry in 1982, "June 30: ERA is stopped three states short of ratification."
