I had been wondering about what would happen to the Equal Rights Amendment ever since Democrats took control of both houses of the Virginia state legislature last November and said that they would ratify it, making them the 38th state to do so, the minimum number needed to pass a constitutional amendment. But there were some issues that had to be resolved. I had been planning to look into those issues and write a post about it but Crip Dyke over at Pervert Justice has saved me the trouble by providing a nice explainer.
