Post # 10: Culture Wars

From what I understand from the Faluci reading, culture wars are the war between different cultures based on their views, beliefs or norms. But in this case, the war is between women, men or even society. The war is against the stigma and definition that are placed on women and the way other cultures seek to define them. This relates to feminism  because it goes against the very virtues of what feminism stand on. According to Faluci, “Feminism’s agenda is basic: It asks that women not be forced to “choose” between public justice and private happiness. It asks that women be free to define themselves—instead of having their identity defined for them, time and again, by their culture and their men. “ The culture wars are based on notions that are put in place about women, but also how cultural and social factors sometimes put women at a disadvantage.
