How Does Not Having the Equal Rights Amendment Affect Me?


The ERA Would Enforce Equality in Wages, Health Insurance, Pension & Social Security

RIGHT NOW BASIC FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS FOR WOMEN
ARE SUBJECT TO POLITICAL CYCLES.

Women are nearly half of the labor force, increasingly serve as primary breadwinners, and, although we comprise over 50% of college graduates, the reality remains that women make less than men in 99% of all occupations for which data is available.

We are paid less than men for the same jobs and, on average, the gap between what women and men make remains severe. For every dollar that a man makes,
• a White woman earns 77 cents;
• a Black woman earns 68 cents; and
• a Latina earns 59 cents.

On November 17th, 2010 the Paycheck Fairness Act went to the Senate for vote. The women in America were set back again as the bill failed to pass. It would have provided “improvement and modifications” to the Equal Pay Act of 1963.

The act would have “required employers to provide a business justification for paying men and women differently for the same work and make it easier for employees to obtain salary data and ask about salaries without retaliation.” A lack of transparency is a key reason why many women remain underpaid. Currently, a woman makes between 59-77 cents to each dollar a man earns.

Facts About The Gender Pay Gap

• Women are half as likely to receive a pension as men.
• Pension benefits for women are only about half as large as those of men.
• Nearly half of all single black and hispanic women have zero or negative wealth.
• Women can pay up to 47% more for health insurance.

The Situation Without ERA

• Women are 52% of the population but only 17% of Congress.
• Women are 46.5% of the workforce but only 12% of its corporate officers.
• Women are 55% of Hollywood’s audience but only 9% of its directors.
• Women do 90% of the unpaid labor of raising children and caring for the elderly and sick.

Women in the United States can no longer afford to ignore economic discrimination and inequity.

Inside Hellcase: How CS:GO Case Opening Platforms Work

Case opening sites blend chance and collecting into a fast-paced pastime for many CS:GO players, and Hellcase sits among the more prominent options thanks to a large case catalog and regular promotions. Rare knives and limited finishes create the thrill, but most sessions yield common items and the platform’s long-term edge often outweighs occasional wins. Approaching openings as entertainment rather than guaranteed profit helps set realistic expectations and preserves enjoyment.
Explore the site here: Hellcase.
The mechanics are straightforward: each case has a listed price and a drop table that assigns rarities and approximate probabilities, and many users study those tables to understand their odds. Not all providers present the same level of rate disclosure, so check the published odds, disclaimers, and any mechanics that affect payout chances before buying. Users who compare historical outcomes and community feedback can spot which cases produce memorable drops and which deliver mostly common skins.
Check recent prices on the Steam Market: Steam.
A skin’s resale potential depends on wear (float), special patterns, StatTrak, and market interest—use completed sales as a clearer indicator than listing prices. If you plan to sell, prioritize skins that consistently trade and avoid niche items with sporadic demand. Net proceeds shrink after commissions and holds, so check fee schedules and typical sale prices before assuming profit.

Protect accounts with Steam Guard, strong passwords, and vigilance against phishing attempts that mimic legitimate communications. Review each platform’s terms for cashouts and trade holds so you’re not surprised by delays or limits. Finally, responsible play means setting strict spending limits, logging session outcomes, and treating case openings as entertainment rather than investing; that approach reduces harm and keeps the hobby sustainable.
