    Arguments against the ERA included: protective laws specifically for women would be removed, custody rights would no longer favor women, the draft would be required for women, and bathrooms would no longer be separated based on sex.

    The opponents to the ERA argued the amendment would take away the protections and special rights women had in society. It would disregard the importance of gender difference and the reasons why men and women should be treated differently.
