**Disclaimer: I do not believe Donald Trump causes, or is the reason for, sexual assault. I do believe Donald Trump is a high item on a totem pole of believing that sexual harassment and degrading women is more "normal" than not okay.**

I was scrolling through Facebook when I came upon an article discussing a new nail polish developed by four students at NC State that changes color to detect when there are certain date rape drugs in your drink.

This article is from 2014, and there has been some controversy over whether or not the nail polish will actually be able to get produced.

There is one thing that was produced by these four students towards young women in college- girls like me. I have a thank you to extend their way for forming a helping tool that could prevent sexual assault. I do thank them, and let it be said that I believe that their development of a useful and innovative tool set to prevent the event of a date-rape is highly commendable. They are trying to help women protect themselves against harm, and that does not go unseen or unappreciated.

This article brought a lot of attention to one of the highest dangers to a woman: the danger of being sexually assaulted. There is now a nail polish to help try and prevent it. We would dip our hands in our drink, and hopefully a change of color would show us that the boy we were just talking to, trying to engage with, trying to get rid of, or just simply sitting next to was going to try and harm our bodies.

Why has it come to this--Why do they harm our bodies--Why do they get away with it--Why is there such a stigma that this isn't happening--

Why do young women have to take leaps to protect themselves against people who want to maliciously leap on them.

I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of rape culture. I, personally, have never been sexually assaulted. Cat calls and aggressive boys are something everyone grows up around, right? Right.

I'm sick of hearing that a girl in the news, a woman in the paper, a friend, a student in my class, a girl I might have seen around campus, a girl that I was best friends with in preschool, a woman was sexually assaulted.

Why has it come to this. I remember my mother and me painting our nails when I was a little girl, and with the patience of a saint, my mother would always let me paint hers in whichever color I deemed appropriate. When did painting my nails go from my choice of color to my choice of protection?

This constant sense of worry and fear was a song created by a cat-called tune. The tears that we shed for people who have been hurt and abused do not change color- they just seem to be capable of increasing in intensity and amount.

The Republican presidential nominee is a man named Donald Trump. He's cat-called, he's verbally degraded women , and he can go on to say that he respects them. He claims that locker room talk is simply how it sounds- it stays where ya say it and its with your boys.

Mr. Trump, let us think of it like this: a locker room leads to a hallway, which leads to many rooms, which leads to windows, doors, and one in particular that breaks open the physical wall that creates the entrance and exit to the very building itself. These instances are not solitary, they lead to the bigger picture, or building. Not only is your "locker room" talk appalling, but so is your excuse that it is just something all men do.

This is a man running to be the leader of our nation. What an interesting example he is setting when he states "Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything." You can do anything- anything- anything.

Donald Trump is not a leader of rape culture, and I am not accusing him of being so. He is part of the foundation of the bigger picture- a block in the building. He is an enabler of the actions and words that come from it. He sings a song similar to sexist slurs. He is not the cause of sexual harassment, but he definitely is not aiming to help find a cure.

If I were ten years old instead of twenty, perhaps I would be painting my nails with this new polish to get a head start preparing for the absolutely disgusting things Mr. Trump has said about women.

However, I am twenty years old. I am mature, but I'll use a saying I learned when I was young: "Stupid is as stupid does." Of all the atrocious words I have to depict this excuse for a man, I would not refer to him with the adjective of "stupid".

I would simply state that there are two types of people. The four college boys who created a nail polish to help prevent date-rape: commendable. Donald Trump, a poster child through taped discussions and sexual harassment accusations: comedic.

Stupid is as stupid does Mr. Trump. What example are you setting for young men? How do you think you are making young women feel about themselves and how their genitalia can be referred to and yanked towards a man with a simple grab?

I'd like to yank the nonsense out of you- but all that would be left would be a fake head of hair and a mouth full of sexual slurs. Both last forever. So do your words. So do your actions. So does the imminent fear of a grabbed p***y.
