Equal Rights for Hairy-Legged Woman Coming Back

One of Rush Limbaugh's Undeniable Truths of Life goes something like this: Modern day feminism was created to give unattractive women access to the mainstream. Given the sights I remember from some of those early ERA rallies in the 7o's, there's a lot of truth in that statement.

Well, those rallies are coming back and hairy-legged women everywhere will once again be marching for equal rights:

(CNSNews.com) - Liberal Democrats in the Senate and House plan to resume "the fight for women's equality" on Tuesday, when they reintroduce the Women's Equality Amendment.

Sens. Ted Kennedy (Mass.) and Barbara Boxer (Calif.) and Reps. Carolyn Maloney and Jerrold Nadler, both of New York, plan to join Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority, in making the Tuesday afternoon announcement.

This time around, supporters say they hope "women will finally achieve official equality in America." But a conservative group said women's rights activists are "fighting old battles."

I guess the irony of introducing this bill in a House of Representatives with a woman speaker is lost on them.
