5 Reasons I'm A Feminist, And Can't Get Behind Hillary

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.

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.
