THE PINK FLOYD - 1838 and again in In 1973 the loss 2020... No More, this ends here.
We thank Mr. Floyd's Family and united supporters for bridging the Black and Female oppression and fighting off unnecessary attacks based on Discrimination from White Male Oppressive Patriarchal Systems to people who follow Matrilineal and Matriarchal Systems who love the people they create, and we fight in support of stopping it in its tracks this time, the resurfacing of the abuse of our nations Black peoples We see you, we feel your pain and we are always beside you. A mother's love for their children is color blind, race does not change the love we share.
Women fought for both, women rights and anti-slavery and our partnership brought forward almost a century of our co-operative cries...Get You Foot Off Our Necks!
1838, Sarah GrimkĂ© boldly argued for the equality of women and men, challenging societal norms and religious justifications for female subordination.Â
Sarah GrimkĂ©, originally an advocate for the immediate abolition of slavery, extended her reform efforts to women’s rights, publishing Letters on the Equality of the Sexes, and the Condition of Woman in 1838. She directly responded to arguments defending women’s subordinate role, particularly those of Catharine Beecher, asserting that God created men and women as equals, and that women’s inferior status was a result of societal oppression rather than divine decree. GrimkĂ© rejected the notion of “separate spheres,” insisting that women should have equal access to education, religion, work, and political participation, including involvement in the abolitionist movement. Â
In her letters, GrimkĂ© highlighted the historical and systemic subjugation of women, comparing their oppression to that of enslaved people. She argued that men had consistently used women to serve their own comfort and gratification, denying them intellectual and moral development, and falsely claiming women’s inferiority as justification. She praised figures like John Quincy Adams for recognizing women alongside the oppressed, emphasizing that women had long been denied opportunities to fulfill their potential and glorify God as intended Â
Grimké’s advocacy was radical for her time, challenging both cultural norms and religious interpretations that justified female subordination. She critiqued male-dominated biblical translations and commentaries, suggesting that women’s access to education in Greek and Hebrew could reveal alternative readings supporting equality.Â
Despite facing public hostility, including protests and the burning of her writings, GrimkĂ© persisted in speaking and writing for both women’s rights and the abolition of slavery Â
Her work laid an early foundation for the American women’s rights movement, linking the struggle for gender equality with broader social justice causes. Grimké’s insistence on moral, intellectual, and civic equality for women marked a significant step in the fight for women’s participation in public life and reform movementsÂ
From Letters on the Equality of the Sexes, and the Condition of Woman, 1838, Letter II:Â
But I ask no favors for my sex. I surrender not our claim to equality. All I ask of our brethren is, that they will take their feet from off our necks, and permit us to stand upright on that ground which God designed us to occupy.Â
Half way there...its stated againÂ
Ruth Bader Ginsburg 1973Â
The term "man please get your foot off my neck" is attributed to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who quoted Sarah GrimkĂ© during her first oral arguments before the Supreme Court in the 1973 case of Frontiero v. Richardson. This quote emphasizes the demand for equality and liberation from oppression, reflecting the historical context of women's rights activism.Â
In Frontiero v. Richardson (411 U.S. 677, 1973), Ruth Bader Ginsburg—arguing as amicus curiae for the ACLU—urged the Supreme Court to treat sex discrimination as inherently suspect, helping secure an 8–1 ruling that struck down military benefit rules that disadvantaged servicewomen.Â
OverviewÂ
Frontiero v. Richardson challenged federal statutes that automatically granted housing and medical benefits to wives of male service members but required husbands of female service members to prove dependency for more than half their support. Lt. Sharron Frontiero’s husband did not meet this requirement, prompting the lawsuit. Â
Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s RoleÂ
Ginsburg participated as amicus curiae for the ACLU, granted special permission to argue before the Court—her first Supreme Court oral argument. Â
She drew on her earlier success in Reed v. Reed (1971) and argued that sex-based classifications should receive strict judicial scrutiny, like race or national origin. Â
Her brief and oral argument emphasized that laws rooted in “romantic paternalism” perpetuated systemic inequality.Â
Supreme Court’s DecisionÂ
Outcome: 8–1 in favor of Frontiero.Â
Plurality opinion (Justice Brennan):Â
Declared sex an immutable characteristic unrelated to ability.Â
Held that the statutes imposed unconstitutional discrimination under the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause.Â
Asserted that administrative convenience cannot justify sex-based discrimination. Â
Concurrences: Justices Powell, Burger, Blackmun, and Stewart agreed in judgment but hesitated to adopt strict scrutiny.Â
Dissent: Justice Rehnquist.Â
SignificanceÂ
Marked one of the earliest Supreme Court victories advancing constitutional gender equality.Â
Helped establish Ginsburg as a leading architect of sex discrimination jurisprudence.Â
Laid groundwork for later cases applying heightened scrutiny to gender-based laws. Â
The case remains a foundational moment in the development of modern equal protection doctrine regarding sex discrimination.Â
Almost at the finishing line and it goes too far, this must end...
