"Men should never have given women the right to vote" twitter user @hollyanswers claims.

Thursday morning, I saw this article discussing the Trump backers that have decided to suggest removal of women's voting rights, since Trump would win, based on this analysis. You read all that right--because male supporters of Trump aren't getting what they want, they would rather remove women's right to vote than continue to believe that their female counterparts have valid voices in a country they live in, supposedly, as equals. If you can find me a better demonstration of how flawlessly the seat of women as second-class citizens has been maintained, I'd be amazed. However, this is not just men propagating this hashtag, there are also female supporters claiming they'd be willing to give up their vote for Trump to win.

And this is after all the gregarious claims he has made against women, and then blatantly refused.

This is giving up a right women have not yet held for a full 100 years.

The likelihood of this repeal taking place before November is essentially none. "Essentially" even makes light of it--this isn't possible to be done before the election. That didn't stop twitter from responding in typical twitter fashion and smashing #repealthe19th like they've smashed other heinous hashtags.

So go vote. For the love of pretending women and men are treated equally, go vote.

I'm not here to tell you who to vote for. I'm not here to tell you who I'm going to vote for. In fact, I'm literally just here to tell you to vote. Women need to use this right, we need to follow through with our duty, because there are other citizens in our country who actively want to remove it from us. And how dare they.

Now, go watch "Iron Jawed Angels" and stomp to those polls.

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.
