Question

Which of the following persons argued that supporters of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) were nothing more than “a bunch of bitter women seeking a constitutional cure for their personal problems”? A. Eleanor Roosevelt B. Lyndon Johnson C. Betty Friedan D. Phyllis Schlafly

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Phyllis Schlafly. Eleanor Roosevelt was a humanitarian first lady while Betty Friedan was a known feminist. Lyndon Johnson was a president but wasn't against it. Phyllis Schlafly was a known conservative who opposed the equal rights amendment claiming that there were gender privileges like not having to go to wars and having separate restrooms and that ERA would take that away.
