Donald Trump's "Locker Room Talk"

"You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful-- I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p*ssy. You can do anything". These disturbing words were spoken by our 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump. These words were said in a recently leaked video from 2005 that went viral. This video of Donald Trump has been dismissed as "locker room talk" by himself and his supporters.

Many of his supporters are making fun of the fact that we are mad he said "p*ssy" but, this is not why people are mad. This is not "locker room talk" or "boys will be boys" this is describing sexual assault. He is describing kissing and grabbing women's genitals without their consent, that is sexual assault. Donald Trump has a history of sexually assaulting women so, these are not only words but actions as well.

Donald Trump's ex-wife, Ivana Zelnickova claimed he had raped her and that their divorce was on the grounds of his cruel and inhuman treatment of her, according to a report in the New York Times from December 1990.

Donald Trump's second accusation of sexual assault comes from Jill Harth, he worked with her and her partner on a business deal and was leered at, groped on several occasions and he even attempted rape upon her. Jill withdrew her lawsuit against him but, still stands by these claims.

The third accusation comes from a federal lawsuit by an unnamed "Jane Doe" who claims Trump raped her when she was thirteen back in 1994. She claims that she attended parties with Donald Trump and his friend, Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein is a registered sex offender who is also named as the "billionaire pedophile" and Donald Trump has been heard calling him a "terrific guy". The lawsuit against Trump claims that he tied her to the bed, exposed himself to her and then violently raped her. Jane Doe also claims after the violent attack he threatened her not to tell anyone or her and her family's lives would be ruined.

The fact that Donald Trump can say and do these things only proves the fact that misogyny, inequality and rape culture not only exists but, is prospering.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
