5 Reasons I'm A Feminist, And Can't Get Behind Hillary
NEW YORK TIMES PHOTOS

When most women hear the name, “Donald Trump,” they immediatley cringe. They think of how much of a pervert, or sexist man he is. Yes, he might of done and said some nasty things about women, but that doesn’t make Clinton a saint. As a feminist, I believe in equal rights between man and woman. Thinking about this election, I think about my country; not my gender. Especially when she supports her husband who cheated on her by raping many women. Clinton even silenced those women. Clinton even got away with federal offenses, rather it was because she was a woman, or is a government official, she should’ve been punished.

  1. I’m Thinking Of My Country, Not My Gender.

Being a feminist is not about believing one gender is better than the other. It’s about believing both genders are equal, and should have equal rights. When it comes to Clinton, I wouldn’t ever support her just because she is a woman. Yes, one day I think it would be lovely to have a female president. In no way do I want that woman to be Clinton. She does not set a good example for other women. I would be very ashamed to say that I look up to Clinton, because of the many nasty things she’s done.

2. I Would Never Support Someone Who Supports Their Husband, Who is a rapist.

Hillary Clinton has been married to former president, Bill Clinton, for many years. Within those years, Bill Clinton raped many women. Hillary has stayed with her husband through all those rape cases. She never thought once about those women. If she did, she would’ve left Bill. No true feminist would EVER support someone who supports a man who raped and emotional hurt women. I believe Hillary is still married to Bill because he was a former president. Being a senator, that would make her look good. Also, running for president, that would also give her loads of attention. It also most likely gives her the votes and motivation of the people who voted for her husband

3. Her Husband Cheated On Her, And She Is Still Married To Him.

Just because Bill is a man, doesn’t mean Clinton should bow down to him; or stay with him. I’m ashamed, woman to woman, that she let a man take advantage of her like that. That does not show feminism. Hillary is supposed to set an example for women. Letting a man walk all over her like that because their married is no excuse. Staying with Bill, Clinton gets many advantages, like attention. She uses Bill, just because of what he’s been to our country, a male leader. That is not a true act of feminism.

4. She Silenced Rape Victims, And Has Freed Rape Victims.

Hillary has silenced some of Bill’s rape victims. She has accused them of lying, or being insane. When the scandal happened with Monica Lewinsky, Hillary’s reaction was bashing Lewinsky, instead of her husband. Hillary called her names, and blamed the scandal on Lewinsky. Hilary also stood up for a rapist of a little twelve year old girl. She blamed the raping on the girl, claiming it was her fault. Hillary claimed the young girl had a ‘thing’ for older men. Rape is rape. It’s never the victim’s fault. Hillary shouldn’t have fought for that man, just because he is a man.

5. She Got Away With The FBI.

Rather it was because she was a woman, or was she’s a government official, Hillary committed a federal crime, and got away with it. This scandal should’ve gotten taken care in a proper way and not brushed off. I feel as if a man said those vulgar things in e-mails, he would’ve gotten in some sort of trouble. In this time, a lot of men don’t get away with things too easily, just because their men, and they’re linked to trouble. Most women are linked to pure and innocence. I don’t believe that. I believe it’s all about their personal self. She shouldn’t get away with this, regardless of any of those excuses.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
