Stop telling people to "give Trump and chance". Stop listening to snowflake Tomi bitch online because she's as ignorant as it gets.

Do you realize how many people are going to be effected because of Trump in office? He's already wanting to ban Muslims and refugees from this country and you want people to look at him and say "I respect you". Do I like the current president? Nope. Am I going to respect him? Hell no. He doesn't respect me, why should I respect him. He wants to take away my healthcare, possibly birth control, he wants to tell women what they should do with their bodies....Donald Trump has already made the worst possible decisions...and it's only been a week.

Don't tell me to "give him a chance" if he wants to send us into a fascist country. Don't ever say that he and Hillary Clinton are the same because Hillary would never ban anyone from entering the country. Hillary would never build a wall. Hillary would never take away your healthcare without a proper plan to switch it with.

I've noticed people, who voted for Trump, already regretting their decision. I don't feel sorry for them.

Over two million men and women participated in the women's march and I am proud to be a nasty woman. I never ever want to hear a woman say that they're "so over feminism" because if it wasn't for women like Alice Paul, Lucy Burns, Susan B. Anthony, Margret Sanger, Carol Downer, Margret Fuller, Eleanor Roosevelt, and so on, you wouldn't be able to go to school, get a job, say what you want to say, vote, do what you want to do basically. If it wasn't for the women before us, we wouldn't be able to do shit.

If you ever want to know what life was being discriminated against for being a woman: talk to your mother, your grandmother, your aunt, an older co-worker, a professor, a teacher, a businesswoman.

My mother told me that she was told me that she was told by a man that law school wasn't for women. This was back in the 80's....today, she's one of the best damn lawyers out there.

Talk to my grandmother, who experience having to work past the cut off date for a working mom because she didn't get paid maternity.

Don't you ever say you're over feminism or that we don't need it...because we sure as hell do.

Stop telling people to respect Trump because if you want to be serious...did you respect Barack?

Stop telling people to get over it, when his policies will impact another person more than you.

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.
