latley I been seeing a lot of discussion about women's right and how unfairly they are treated earlier today I seen someone mention that women are treated the same as a LGBT or African American male many agreed and many disagreed and those that disagree claim females like to the play the woman card for the benefit..I always thought women's right was about abortion and equal pay are women really treated the same as a LGBT or African American person? What forms of discrimination is the women's rights movement fighting?

I always thought it was about equal pay.

The women rights movement is part of the Feminist movement and it's about equality. Therefore, you could say that men as well can try benefits from a more equal and progresive society. Men as well are affected by gender stereotypes that we need to fight against. And yes, equal pay is included in their schedule. But it's not just that. Feminism is about a world were everybody can have the same value within society, no matter the gender you identify with or your sexuality.

I think it's crystal clear.

Lgbt and black males and women face the pressure of overcoming stereotypes.

Homophobia, racism, and misogyny are related in that those 3 ideologies seek to degrade and dehumanize the perceived threat.

I dont know what you want me to say its pretty common sense.

The women's rights movement has historically been concerned with many issues: voting rights (suffrage), equal schooling and workplace opportunities, equal pay, health care, child care, abortions, contraceptives, divorce, domestic abuse / violence, rape, representation in politics and the media, and deconstructing gender norms.

Right now, the biggest issues are probably representation (both media and politics), rape / domestic violence, equal pay, and gender norms. Additionally, third wave feminism ("current" feminism) also incorporates queer theory and intersectionality to address issues pertaining specifically to women who are LGBTQ+, WOC, affected by a disability, etc.

I don't see it either. Even on the pay scale, white women earn more than black men so......

I dont know how it is for women in the US, Im from a post communist country and work often in muslim countries, so I can assure you, its not just about abortions and equal pay, it truly is about equal rights, about being treated and respected as equal human beings.

Historically it's about women not being the property, the pet or beast of burden of the men.

Old limitations in the West were:

• Women could only open a bank account with written permission of their men. The dangers of women having their own money, income and can pay for their own choices without asking their men.
• It was thought that the brain of females, minorities,... were smaller, therefore they won't have a worthwhile opinion and shouldn't vote.
• It was thought that women didn't have the knowledge of how to do sex properly and it was up to the men to lecture them and tell them what's good for them. That's why feminists of the 60s organised group masturbation sessions for women to discover their body to get the knowledge to tell a man what they really enjoy.
• The nuns locked the female students inside, while the male students went out and drinking in the pubs.
• A bit further back, big wide unwieldy dresses were in vogue to make women stumbling around, barely able to move through a door and needed help of a men.
  
  The pants symbolised the power of men.
  
  In other cultures it can be foot binding or other things to make women stumble around, making them weak and depends on a man.

It's still about equality. It isn't because you are born without a dick that you have to accept to be less than those having a dick.

The question is how good they can stand ground, because the advertisement industry is really good at convince women that they shouldn't have hair on their body, shouldn't express their body odour,... to strip their body down to a helpless baby barely felt by the man on top. It's also bad for the straight men, because their girls are mentally shrunk into nothingness. There is no fun when the girl can't fight back.

This is it, and then some.

To say that one fails to see how women are still oppressed/discriminated against, even in most western societies, goes to show that we have a long, long way to go.

Equal pay, paid family leave, the right to serve in the military, the right to vote, the end of sexism, getting higher positions in politics, the media, other jobs, etc.

this may be doubtful, but i'm pretty sure the women's rights movement is about women's rights.

i actually do agree that men face problems too caused by their gender and feminists sometimes don't acknowledge that, but i think women tend to face more issues, although i don't see why we can't try to help both groups at the same time.

there a lot of struggles women face. but i think the most important ones at the moment (besides the previously mentioned abortion) are workplace discrimination (i'm not just talking about the gender pay gap, i think there's more to it than that, such as difficulty making it to higher positions in companies), sexual harassment (which we've taken some steps to prevent, and i think title IX was a huge improvement, but it's not over yet), rape, and general income inequality (especially among single mothers).
