5 Reasons Why Hillary Clinton Should Not Be The Face of Feminism

Hillary Clinton, one of the most known politics as of now in this day in age, can run for presidency as much as she desires. But, here are 5 reasons why she should not be the face of Feminism.

1. Class

Clinton, like most people in power within the United States, come from a higher class. As she is an advocate for women's empowerment, I believe that she tends to leave out the women who don't have the luxuries she attends to, strictly from her class.

2. White Privilege

Not only does she disregard the privilieges she is given from only her class, but we as other women enthusiast tend to forget her white privilege as well. Yeah she advocates for women throughout our country, but cannot and should not testify her struggles to speak for all races.

3. Her Age

As I'm sure she faces many different obstacles being a woman in the United States, I tend to argue that she faces many different barriers than most millennials do. And as the rise of feminism starts to come upon us, I would also argue that the face of feminism needs to communicate and relate to all interferences of all generations.

4. She's a Woman

The entire point of feminism, is for men and women to become politically, socially, and economically equal with each other. For someone to vote for Clinton, because she is a woman, contradicts the entire mark that feminism is trying to leave. Putting her in power over a man, is no less than choosing a man over her.

5. Her Spouse

Although she has had many of her own successes throughout her life, we also have to take into account who her husband is: Bill Clinton. Not only is Hillary privileged because of her race and class, but her husband was once the President of the United States. No matter her accomplishments on her own, she has also been honored with many connections just because her husband was once a powerful man.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
