Can you believe that Justice Antonin Scalia says that the Constitution does NOT give equality to women?

Asked by Linda_Owl (7748points) September 19th, 2012

Justice Scalia says that the 14th Amendment gave equality to freed MALE slaves, but he is insistent that it did not mean that women were granted equality. He says that, basically, women are still non-people & that gender & sexual discrimination is perfectly legal. This goes a long way to explaining why the Republicans have been waging a war on women & gay people & trans-gendered people. Is this how you think the Constitution should be interpreted? Being a woman, I certainly do not think his interpretation is correct. You might find this link to be very interesting
