Sentences with phrase «obliterate traditional distinctions»

Modern - day opponents of the ERA argue that its passage would obliterate traditional distinctions between the sexes; would require women to register for the draft and serve in combat; would remove laws that protect women, such as labor laws in heavy industry; and would require the integration of all single - sex schools, sports teams, and even restrooms; and that the ERA is simply not necessary in light of other provisions of the Constitution that provide sufficient support for equality.
