"Grab 'em by the p*ssy"- Possibly your future President

How Can Women Support Trump?

This year is the first presidential election I am eligible to vote in and boy do I feel lucky. I may be young, but this is the craziest, most hostile election I’ve ever seen. I’ve never really been big into politics or that interested to be completely honest, but since this is my first time voting, I obviously needed to have an open mind and submerge myself into the craziness that is this presidential election.

After watching videos, news coverage and quite frankly just looking at social media, I completely agree that this election is basically choosing the lesser of the two evils.

I do not entirely agree with Hillary, but especially after watching the debate last night, I have no idea how any woman in her right mind could support Donald Trump.

I have never really considered myself as much of a feminist, but the things he says about women are just down right degrading and legitimately make me ill. When he was questioned last night about his comments during a video where he talked about grabbing women’s genitals and kissing them without consent, he very lightly played it off and repeatedly referred to his comments as “locker room talk.” He also tried to play off his comments by bringing up the “worse” things in the world, like Isis. Yes, Mr. Trump, Isis is quite horrible and terrifying, but that does not give you the right to demean the severity of the sexual assault of women in the United States and it especially does not give you the right to sexually assault women either.

He has had countless of other incidents of him completely disrespecting and belittling women throughout his whole campaign and his whole life to be frank. For example, when he referred to former Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado as “Miss Piggy.” In regards to this he has also said "She was the winner and she gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem for us." Let’s also not forget about how he brings up the Clinton’s marriage every chance he gets and even claiming that Hillary obviously “can’t satisfy.” In what world is it ok to blame a woman for her husband’s infidelity?

This man has the opportunity to be the most powerful man in the world. In. The. World. That completely horrifies and disgusts me as a woman and I do not understand how he has a single female supporter to be blunt.

You might not like Hillary and you might think she has done wrong in her political career, but at least she has one. She has been around politics for over 40 years and regardless of any scandals that may have happened she has done a lot of great things and continues to advocate for the things she believes in instead of verbally attacking everyone and everything in sight.

Before you vote, please think about yourself and your daughters and your best friends and any woman in this country or even globally because no one should have to live in a world with such a disgustingly misogynistic man as the leader of the free world.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
