So I've been working on an episode about sex discrimination for like months now.
And we're supposed to release it. Sexual harassment scandals have engulfed Harvey Weinstein, Senator Al Franken, comedian Louis C.K., this week. The story we're going to tell is not about sexual harassment, but I can't think straight with all the stuff that's happening. Thousands posted the claims online using the simple phrase, me too. And I can't help but think that we've seen this before.
Like we're in our respective corners and... We need men to help us. Letting out a big scream. How do people not know? But when things quiet down... Will there be a change?
Okay. So let me outline the basic dilemma that's at the heart of the story here. All right. And I'm going to put it to you as a question.
If you were to do a control F in the Constitution, like how many times do you think the word sex comes up?
It's one. One time in the 19th Amendment, which grants people the right to vote based on sex.
Yes.
That's the only time, which is crazy because we already have.
No, nothing.
No. Really? Okay, constitutionally, women have a problem, which is that basically we're not in the Constitution, except like in this one little spot. So when it comes to discriminating against women, some people have argued that you... There's nothing in the Constitution that says you can't do it.
That's the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
That's legal editor Christian Farias.
As legal editor Linda Hirschman says, the 14th Amendment was passed in the aftermath of the Civil War, along with the 13th and the 15th. 13th Amendment abolishing slavery. 15th Amendment essentially giving black people, really black men, the right to vote.
There was this basic assumption in the law that, you know, equality for black people is one thing, but men and women, they're different.
What are some of my greatest hits of the ridiculous distinctions?
1948.
Both those laws, you know, women are not supposed to be at the bar. At either bar.
And that was the assumption for a long, long time.
Audre Lorde.
They get some traction saying, OK, it's time to put us in the Constitution.
