Feminists and Gay Marriage

http://us.history.wisc.edu/hist102/lectures/lecture14.html

The American Dream is seen as having the perfect family, perfect wife, perfect children and the perfect job. This means that women are put into a stereotype of being the ‘house wife’, for some females this is not their ‘American Dream’ which is where feminism came in. The website I chose explains the history of American feminists and what their mission is. Feminism went against America’s ideologies of what they thought their country should be like, America is a proud nation and was male dominated place back when feminism first started.

The topic I chose for my contemporary website was gay marriage in America; I felt that this was still and ongoing issue in America. Many states have enforced a ban on gay marriage and that their marriage will not count in that state if they choose to get married in a different state or country. Again this is to do with the ‘American Dream’ and the ideologies Americans have, gay marriage does not fit into these ideologies and therefore Americans choose to ignore it.
The difference between these two topics is that Feminism has had an impact on America and had success, whereas the gay society are still battling for their rights to make gay marriage legal.

I put this website in as well because I found it quite amusing...
