Trump And His War Against Women

Last year, when Donald Trump was asked about women and some of the demeaning comments that he has made in the past, Trump responded with: "I cherish women. I want to help women. I’m going to be able to do things for women that no other candidate would be able to do." As you read this quote, you probably responded in the same way that I did. You rolled your eyes and sarcastically said, "Yeah, right."

The truth is, Trump is pure entertainment and he has built his image and empire off of criticizing women. However, talking about Donald Trump just fuels his power. For every Trump quote that targets women and makes a young girl somewhere around the world feel demeaned, there is an inspiring quote and photograph of a woman kicking ass and taking names to go with it. It is important to remember that Donald Trump is just a man who has been given a microphone by the media to say whatever he wants.

Let history speak for itself and let us silence the Twitter account that is Donald Trump once and for all.


“You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media writes as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ass.” Donald Trump

1. "Well behaved women rarely make history." Eleanor Roosevelt



“All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me – consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.” – Donald Trump

2. "When I’m sometimes asked, 'When will there be enough [women on the supreme court]?' and I say, ‘When there are nine,’ people are shocked. But there’ve been nine men and nobody’s ever raised a question about that." Ruth Bader Ginsburg



"I like kids. I mean, I won't do anything to take care of them. I'll supply funds and she'll take care of the kids." – Donald Trump

3. “I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass.” Maya Angelou




"Thanks, Sweetie. That’s nice.” – Donald Trump

4. "I feel like young girls are told they have to be a princess, and be delicate and fragile, and that's bulls**t. I identify much more with the idea of being a warrior, being a fighter." Emma Watson



"Look at that face. Would anybody vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president? I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?" – Donald Trump

5. "If you have a problem with people living their lives and being authentically who they are, you really should go and do some soul-searching." Laverne Cox



"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her — wherever." – Donald Trump

6. "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." Audre Lorde



"If Hilary Clinton can't satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America." – Donald Trump

7. "Now, I have always believed that women are not victims; we are agents of change, we are drivers of progress, we are makers of peace all we need is a fighting chance." Hillary Clinton



“Beauty and elegance, whether in a woman, a building, or a work of art, is not just superficial or something pretty to see.” – Donald Trump

8. "One of the things I have always said about the man-woman relationship is that I don't want anybody to walk ahead of me and I don't want anybody to walk behind me. I want a man who will walk along beside me. And that's how I feel about equal rights." Cicely Tyson



"Heidi Klum. Sadly, she’s no longer a 10." – Donald Trump

9. "Just because you are blind and unable to see my beauty doesn't mean it does not exist." Margaret Cho



“Like, you wouldn’t have your job if you weren’t beautiful.” – Donald Trump

10. "I don't want to be remembered as the girl who was shot. I want to be remembered as the girl who stood up." Malala Yousafzai



"Women, you have to treat them like shit." – Donald Trump

11. "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." Gloria Steinem

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.
