Women In America Today

James asks…

how has the women suffrage(of America) impacted women in america today?

For my honors U.S history class I have to write a thesis paper on why the women suffrage movement is one of the most significant moments in American history. Can you please give me a list of ways that the movement has impacted America today.
Ex: Because of the women suffrage movement, women in America today have been given the opportunity to vote and become involved in politics. (This is the only reason I can think of and I need about 3-4 reasons.) Please list as many reasons as you can, even if it’s more than four.
*Thanks in advance:)

Fishbowl answers:

Well this is really something you need to come up with on your own, and if you know what woman's suffrage is, it's not that hard to come up with reasons.

Think about the voting basis. If women can now vote how does that affect political representation in office?

What does that do to the number of people who vote?

Think about equal and civil rights. Don't you think that was a major hurdle when it came to women's rights? The right to vote is pretty basic and yet women were once thought to not be able to handle it. What has that done to our society and how we think of women today?
The suffrage movement for women was one of the leading feminist movements and gave rise to how women are viewed today... You could easily write a whole book on just this topic itself.

Think about it. This is easy.

Linda asks…

Are men and women in America equal today?

Anybody who can give his or her stand on the issue of equality between men and women in America today? Thanks a lot!

Fishbowl answers:

No. I wish we were equal, but women are not equal, no matter how much we try to strive for equality.

Richard asks…

Are women today (in America) filled with anger and bitterness?

Of course. Why do they blame it all on men? How did they develop this OBSESSION with everything being equal (say equal in a whiny voice)? They feel that a man should "match" everything women do around the house. Women HATE taking care of home. It seems they've totally lost any sense of what being a woman and mother is REALLY all about. They're more focused on making sure the man washes the dishes JUST AS MUCH as they do. It's ridiculous and sad.

Susan asks…

Can You give Me Your list of the 5 most influencial Women in America today ?

I am just curious as to Whom modern Women concider to be Their role models.

Fishbowl answers:

My mom....my older sister.... My grandmother.... My godmother...one of my professors in college....

I'm not influenced by politics or the media...the people i have close relationships with influence me the most

and none of these women taught me "that all men are pedophiles, rapists, criminals, and emotionally inferior..."
...i love men! My father is someone i would consider a hero and my boyfriend of almost 3 years has brought me nothing but happiness...any relationship i've had with men that didn't work out wasn't just because of the men...it was wrong on both ends, and to be honest...i think i have stronger relationships with men than i do with women.

Sharon asks…

do women in america today get as much liberty and respect as people think?

i heard that for every dollar men earn a woman with the same position only earns 77 cents. is there anything else like this?

Fishbowl answers:
