The history of women's rights is far more complicated than the simple story of "women used to have no rights, they fought for them, and won, now they have rights".

Rather it is a pretty complex issue varying greatly from country to country and from time to time and culture to culture. Suffrage is an interesting topic to breach as indeed women were often not granted suffrage rights, but the very ideas of universal suffrage are fairly recent in and of themselves. Since it was very uncommon in historical democracies that the right to vote would be extended to all men, often it was limited only to the highest social strata.

There really isn't much in our modern society from a legal standpoint where women need to fight for equal rights under the law but you'll still have the women that have some kind of chip on their shoulder or persecution complex or hero complex or whatever, that seems to have this innate need to jump into and join a fight for equality where the battles have mostly already been won and there isn't that much left to do, but when it comes to activists there is always more to do, it is never enough, and the fight must continue forever, so they'll slowly be given over to the most zealous members and focus on less and less important issues.

That's why you saw them using the wage gap as it is so called as their main issue a few years back, there's little else to tackle, the obstacles remaining in women's loves towards true statistical equality with men are not such things which can be easily removed. The simple fact that childbirth for example puts a much larger physical burden on the woman than the man means that women statistically as a whole will never perform economically as well as the entire body of men statistically as a whole. But so long as the woman is free to make her own life choices and forgo childbirth to pursue career or forgo career to pursue family what is the problem?

I think a lot of the problem is people are angry that world is unfair, and yes, it is unfair, and it doesn't mean we should just throw out hands up about it and do nothing. But it will always be unfair because everyone, every situation, it's all different. Subtlety or majorly. It's much like with having a disability. We should do reasonable things to try to make life easier for people with disabilities and allow them to integrate into society, but it doesn't change the fact that simply having a disability is going to limit you. No blind person can ever be a bus driver. I think some women once they realize their own limitations become very angry and instead of accepting it and working around it, they try to fight reality instead. It's one thing to change laws to better accommodate you, but while it's easy to simply allow women to do things like vote or own property, no stroke of a pen is going to change the fundamental reality of our natural existence. You can't legislate that men have periods too for fairness sake.
