The women just want to prove they can play football without being patronised. They just want it to be a level playing field, they just want the recognition. It has very little to do with fortune & fame , it's more pure. But they want to be treated equally therefore it's silly that they get paid so low when the men get paid soo much .

To be fair in this case it's not really that simple... only the top players in the top leagues are getting paid millions, lower-league professional footballers aren't getting paid that sort of money. Same in any sport really.
It's a tough one in sports to be honest - ideally, yes, the money in both would be closer to the same but there just isn't the same interest in women's sport, and less interest = less money.
