Thank goodness this election is almost over. The past months of debates and arguments between friends is slowly coming to an end. This past week I went to early voting and expected to come out relieved and excited that I voted in my first election. The opposite was true. I stood in line behind two fairly older men discussing their party and their views. And I realized this election could be either the best or worst thing for women.
We're either going to have the first female president or the first sexual predator for president. We're either going to have a person who sent some emails from the wrong server, or a man who boasts about not paying people who have provided work for him. A woman with values and morals or a man whose daughters pull away from him whenever he touches them.
And I've tried to not make this about gender. I've tried to look at the situation and say "well if Hillary was a man the same thing would be happening." But that's not true. People can deny it all they want, but there's no way that a man who has had 12 women accuse him of rape, and has leaked video evidence of him bragging about grabbing women by their genitals should even be considered for president. Rape culture at its finest.
But life will be okay. On Tuesday the ballots will be cast and I have faith that our country will do the right thing. And if not, I've already began looking at graduate school in Europe just in case.
