Now in the 21st century, women have a lot more control over what they want and they become stronger thanks to protests and riots. The women today are now open to a wider variety of jobs, plans, etc. Instead of cooking and taking carer of kids, women are given more rights rather then just to stay at home and tend to the important things. Some new rights that were established include:
- 2000 CBS agrees to pay $8 million to settle a sex discrimination lawsuit on behalf of 200 women
- 2003 Iraq War sees increase in female military involvement.
- Supreme Court overturns sodomy laws, legalizing consenting sexual behavior between adults
- 2004 Massachusetts legalizes gay marriage
- March for Women’s Lives in Washington, D.C., protests Bush policies on abortion and women’s healthcare
People Who Stand To Make A Change
There are many Idols that people follow. Some good and some bad. But there are some, some that can be political are strong in status. Hillary Clinton and Angelina Jolie are two powerful impacts on people today. Hillary Clinton ran for president, women could not even come to be someone before, they were just people... Barely people to men. Hillary Clinton made a change for many inspiring them, they can be what they want, they can dream to be who they want. She is considered a feminists who believes in the equal rights of women. As well with that Angelina Jolie is a big time celebrity feminists. She stands for the women and believes that they are really something, they arent just there to be slaves. They are here to make a difference. Both make real changes from centuries ago and have changed a lot of thought and people.
