Quote by Sonia Johnson
Obviously, the anti-ERA people are tickled about my ordeal because it proves that the ERA breaks up families. When they point out that feminism is a dangerous thing, I just say marriage is pretty precarious too.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker is responding to critics who suggest that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) breaks up families and that feminism is dangerous. The speaker argues that their own personal ordeal, presumably related to the ERA or feminist ideals, seems to bring satisfaction to those who oppose gender equality. However, the speaker counteracts this argument by asserting that marriage itself can also be precarious. By doing so, they challenge the idea that promoting equality through feminism is solely responsible for damaging relationships or families.
