Sorry if I gave the impression of tying ERA to those things.  The point was
to show that mysogyny was not confined to India.  By the way, better than
70% of shock victims are women, and I believe it was even worse with 
lobotomy.  Why don't you read Mary Daly's Gyn/Ecology for an interesting
perspective on the "medical professionals" who "regulate" these "treatments."
