Like it or not, there is a strong contingent of Evangelical, Orthodox and others who hold paternalistic views.

While there might be solid drifting in the Right-leaning Independent crowd, staunch Right-Wing and those mentioned above will not drift much. While some might secretly pull the lever, and offer a white lie afterwards to family and friends, that number is quite small.


As someone who is for the ERA, it will be quite some time before it might come about, since many of the major issues were partially resolved by bills and other bureaucratic measures. The strong divide and drive to push the ERA now does not exist. Phyllis Schlafly definitely was the most influential women in politics, she's politically active and outshines her husband while telling others to remain subservient to men.
