The culture wars were the cultural conflict between social groups and power struggle of their values and beliefs. The culture wars tie into feminism because of the fight women still have to gain equal rights. Fauldi makes the claim that yes, in society women’s rights have “progressed” but people think the fight is over and if the fight was over, why is the wage gap in the United States one of the largest in the developed world. As women, we have not “made it” like society thinks, 80% of women are still working predominantly “female” jobs. This struggle is an example of the culture wars because it is the people who think women’s rights are done, versus the people seeking out full equality.

I agree with your definition of culture wars as it intertwines with mine. I like how you made the point that we have not made it because there is still so much to change before we can all say that women are treated equally to men.
Your take on the culture wars was excellent, you explained the definition perfectly and I liked how you acknowledged how far we still need to go until we are treated equally.
