Recently on twitter a hashtag became popular called repeal the 19th, as in the 19th Amendment. This is the Amendment that gave women the right to vote less than one-hundred years ago. The reason why this hashtag came about was because a chart came out saying if only men voted in the 2016 election then Donald Trump would win.

Many people say that the fight for equality is over and misogyny no longer exists but, this event of hatred on social media proves this wrong. Women in this society are dehumanized and treated lesser to men simply because they are women. Women fought for there right to vote and that should be respected instead, people are saying to repeal this amendment which is sickening.

Women in the United States already face the wage gap which is .78 cents to a mans dollar, higher sexual assault rates including 1 in 5 college women being sexually assaulted and 9 out of 10 rape victims being women and now have to face people saying there right to vote should be taken away. Women have to face this kind of misogyny and discriminating behavior towards them on a daily basis which is extremely sad and should not be happening.

Women have come a long way in there fight for equality but, more progress needs to be made to become truly equal.
