I'm A Female And I'm Not Offended By This Election

I'm A Female And I'm Not Offended By This Election
Huffington Post

I am a female millennial and I am not offended over this election. I recently read an article about how America has failed females. The article expresses how "racism and sexism continue to be horrific motivating forces for tens of millions of Americans." The reality is that America was simply not ready for a female president. Another reality is that racism and sexism are always going to be part of this world. Notice how I said the word world. I use this noun, instead of country, because this issue is something that is, always has been, and always will be, a matter of contention. It does not matter if the president of the United States of America is Black, White, Hispanic, male, or female, the controversy will forever stand. It is psychology. It is how our human brains are wired, and no feministic, male hating, sisterhood of the traveling pants, human being will change that. I am a female millennial and I am not offended over this election.

I am a female millennial and I am not offended over this election. This country is not saying that women are not good enough, or not as smart, or not as hardworking. I do not feel like I am limited or in danger due to Donald Trump being president. We as Americans, did our civic duty, like those hundreds of years before us, to vote in who we perceived best for this position. A woman who lied about some serious issues, or a man who has no political experience, there was no clear 'good choice' in this situation. But, as I said, we as Americans did what those founding fathers wanted us to do hundreds of years ago. We exercised our right to vote, so how could I be offended about that? I am a female millennial and I am not offended over this election.

I am a female millennial and I am not offended over this election. Is it because I am a woman that I am expected to vote for a female president? Because that is just as sexist as men not wanting to vote for a female president. I am all for equal pay, equality in the workforce, blah blah blah. I am not a feminist, I'm just an American who expects what I am entitled to as much as the next dude. This country was not ready for a female president. It is as simple as that. Just because I am a female, I will not use that as the sole purpose for my decision on who to elect as a leader for our country. Donald Trump being another male who leads this country does not offend me in any way. Him groping some chicks does not offend me. Maybe I am bad at being a female. Or maybe I just understand the way the world works, and it doesn't bother me. Either way, I am a female millennial and I am not offended over this election.

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.
