And indeed it IS our responsibility to enlist the help of anyone, regardless of sex or race, who could conceivably help us accomplish our objectives. By "we" I mean anyone who is strongly committed to the ERA and what it stands for. In any movement for any kind of social change, it is ALWAYS up to those most committed to kick the less motivated in the butt and get them moving. Otherwise they rarely get up at all, or will get up in response to a stronger kick from those on the other side of the issue. The ERA will not be won or lost by a handful of radical feminists, nor by a handful of mindless idiots like Phyllis Schlafly (it's not hard to tell which side I'M on, is it :-} ). It will be won in the trenches by your average American, and that includes the males as well. GREG ucbvax!hplabs!hao!woods menlo70!hao!woods harpo!seismo!hao!woods decvax!brl-bmd!hao!woods
