As one of his last acts as secretary of defense, Leon Panetta lifted the ban on women serving in combat roles. Considering that the hue and cry over that prospect -- along with the false specter of unisex bathrooms -- helped kill the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s, the initial public reaction was surprisingly muted.

Hilary Rosen was right. In the early 1970s, Phyllis Schlafly began beating her drum against the Equal Rights Amendment. By that time, the birth control pill was widely available, women were graduating from college in higher numbers than ever before, and the movements in favor of civil rights for all - women and minorities - and against the Vietnam War were in full swing.

Some 35 years ago, conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly and her allies were scoffed at and ridiculed for warning that a federal Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) would open the door to "gay marriage." After all, in the 1970s, virtually no one - save two men who tried to "marry" in Minnesota - had heard of such a thing. Last month, the Maryland Court of Appeals exonerated the ERA, at least on the "gay marriage" argument. The primary purpose of Maryland's ERA, approved by voters in 1972, "was to eliminate discrimination as between men and women as a class," Maryland Court of Appeals Judge Glenn T. Harrell Jr. wrote in the 4-3 majority opinion in Deane v. Conaway, issued Sept. 18.
