5.4 What did the Supreme Court rule about the male-only draft in the 1981 case of Rostker v. Goldberg? How did it justify its decision? Today women are objecting to being excluded from combat. Discuss how the de facto segregation of men and women in the military compares to the de jure segregation. What are the arguments for and against putting women into combat? Contrast the attitudes toward a woman’s traditional role in the first and second wave of feminism. How were the attitudes of the first wave reflected in public policy that focused on protectionism? When/Why was the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was introduced, why did supporters claim it was needed, and why did many reject it? How did the attitudes of the second wave lead to the Supreme Court ruling of Reed v. Reed in 1971? Why was it a landmark case?
