Which of the following was a conservative criticism of equal rights amendment? a. the era would reduce the american population b. the era would reduce women's wages c. the era would hurt the traditional family d. the era would cause massive unemployment

The correct answer is C. The ERA would hurt the traditional family

Conservatives believed that women should stay at home and take care of the household instead of go to jobs. This traditional understanding of a family was supported by many women as well, which is why eventually the ERA failed when it failed to become ratified.
