Pop culture and feminism
Popular culture is about more than what is out at the movies or which singers are the most popular amongst within a certain demographic. It is reflective of the political climate and social convictions of the nation. As the country has gotten older one would expect views to change as revelations and discoveries are made that break down what was thought to be truth. Reality paints a different picture; opinions and social constructions do change but not as radically as society would like to believe. Feminism is one of many issues that have fallen into this trap. Since the feminism movement started with the first wave, feminism itself has gone through sweeping changes through its history. Unfortunately feminist theories about a woman’s place in society have changed faster than that of popular thought. Any theory that suggests major change in American is met with opposition, feminism has suffered through it all, progress has been made but at today the ideals set forth have been the victim of ridicule
