Let’s also remember Idaho (and the rest) has an awful position of “gender equality”.
Think of two words: YOUR DAUGHTER.

Gender rights.
Civil rights.
LGBQ rights.
Animal rights.
Felon rights.
Voting rights.
BICYCLIST rights.

They all go together to consider OTHER PEOPLE, animals, and the environment.

The Idaho legislature is so monoculture, it is really gross (made only worse with the retirement of Rep. Buckner-Webb).
Remember the DUMB north Idaho Barbieri asked in committee if a camera pill could be swallowed for telemedicine to do a pregnancy exam? Then, and many other times demonstrated he is an idiot- like too many of his colleagues.
“We the people”?

2020 is the 124th anniversary of women having the right to vote in Idaho. (Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah were ahead of us.)

I agree that women’s rights have not come easy. I’m happy that they are (mostly) no longer regarded as second-class citizens.

And, as for the women in MY house having rights… I’M THE KING! (As long as I have the queen’s blessing, of course.)

EDITOR NOTE–I always tell Daisy I am the alpha male. She usually understands. Daisy is our dog.

Sadly, Idaho also holds another note–the Idaho legislature was one of five to rescind ratification of the equal rights amendment, Feb. 8, 1977.

That case was 1971. And today, women are STILL fighting for their rights: in their house, in the statehouse, and in the Whitehouse- and especially in the US Supreme Court.
Unfortunately, this October will likely swing against women.

This year as the 100 year anniversary of suffrage, with many attacks on voters’ rights- 2020 continues to suck.

Let’s remember, when women marched and rallied for their voting rights they were opposed by ‘counter-protesters’ – white men. Women were not given their rights. They had to fight for basic rights- just like today.
Control and privilege ALWAYS resists change.

Thanks for sharing this! I really wasn’t “into” current events, back in ’71… but it was obviously a great ruling by the Supreme Court. (Unanimous! Have they decided anything unanimously, since?) Mr. Derr was involved in legal mish-mash somewhat regularly, but that was certainly Ms. Reed’s “fifteen minutes of fame.”
