The equal rights movement proposed in 1972 primarily centered around the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which aimed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. The movement sought to eliminate discrimination and ensure that women had the same legal protections and opportunities as men. While it gained significant support, the ERA ultimately fell short of ratification by the necessary number of states by the original deadline, reflecting ongoing societal debates about gender equality. The movement laid important groundwork for future advancements in women's rights and gender equality.
While it is true that women probably face less discrimination, on average, than they did in the 1960s or 1970s, it is not yet correct to say that they "are not treated much differently than men" in many aspects of life and business. It should be noted that the Equal Rights Amendment was never adopted and so has had no direct impact on women's rights, even though it energized the conversation on that topic.
