A Vote For Hillary Clinton Is Not A Feminist Vote

Hillary Clinton only cares about Hillary Clinton.

A Vote For Hillary Clinton Is Not A Feminist Vote
Mstarz.com

Many feminists, including myself, want a woman president. Women are strong and powerful and have historically been good leaders. I want a woman to be the president of the United States, but I want a woman who cares about and fights for other women as well as other minorities and citizens, is honest, and has our country’s best interest at heart. That person is not Hillary Clinton.

Many women voting for Hillary think that she will be the voice of representation for the women of our country, but that is just not the case. Why would she be our voice now when back in the ‘80s and ‘90s she not only did not support the women who came out about the sexual abuse at the hands of her husband and then president, she actually destroyed and threatened them in pubic to discredit them. Not only this, but she stayed with the man who committed theses horrible crimes against women. Nothing about that screams feminism or the voice for women. A true feminist would have supported those women and helped them legally fight back against her husband, but she did not. Why? Because the only person Hillary Clinton cares about is Hillary Clinton. She stayed with her abusive husband because she knew that’s what she needed to do to remain in a position of power.

She also has a shady legal background and seems to show zero remorse for any of her illegal actions which seem to be involved in, as a friend of mine stated, "Some of the most famous criminal investigations known to politics."

It would be one thing if I was bashing on Clinton because she is a woman, as I’m seeing done many other places. I am sick and tired of seeing, “If Hillary couldn’t keep her husband happy, then how could she keep the country happy?” Or constant bashing of her physical appearance. Or constant sexist insults thrown her way, such as slut, b*tch and even c*nt. I do not like Hillary in the slightest, but the extreme sexism that she is facing is horrible and wrong. I am not bashing on her because she is a woman -- I love women and as a feminist I will fight for them until I am old and weak. I am here pointing out her faults and misconduct because she is a bad person.

She is not a voice of women. She is not a voice of our people. She is not the voice that our country needs. Trust me, I want a strong and powerful woman in charge of our country more than anything, but I want someone who is worthy of the job and that person is just not Hillary Clinton.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
