In the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump, Republican presidential nominee front-runner, has called out Hillary Clinton, Democratic nominee and a female, for using the “woman’s card” in her campaign. His exact words were, ”Frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she’s got going is the woman’s card.”

As a female, I, too, have been carrying this “woman’s card” around for my whole life. So, what exactly is this woman’s card that Trump claims Clinton to be utilizing, and what exactly does it entail?

It’s the notion that at night, I have to worry about being alone and the risks that are associated with that. That if I am walking back from class at 10 p.m. when it is dark, I should take the bus instead of walking because I might not be safe walking across campus alone. And although I chose to walk, I always have to chose the lighted pathways, and the pathways where there will be other people, to ensure that if someone were to attack me, there would be a bystander to hopefully intervene.

It’s the notion that I have to present myself well. I cannot dress too provocatively or I will be labeled a “slut,” but if I dress too conservatively, I would be labeled a “prude.” It’s turning on the TV and seeing that people are debating Clinton’s outfits, instead of her political policies.

It’s the notion that I will earn only 78 cents to the dollar my male counterpart will earn, and that is only because I am a white female. If I were a woman of color, that pay gap would be larger.

It’s the notion that when I was young, I was joked about “marrying a rich man,” instead of being successful and financially independent. Or, that from when I was young, I was encouraged to present myself as “sweet” and to not curse, as that would not make a man want to marry me. Whereas, men are encouraged to enjoy their bachelorhood and not stress about finding a woman to make his wife.

It’s the notion that young girls are told “beauty or brains,” as if you cannot be both beautiful and smart.

It’s the notion that we are told to not let men know we are feminists, as feminist is a dirty word and will not make a man want to be with you.

It’s the notion that if I were to become pregnant, it would be my mistake, even though it took two peoples' actions. And, if I had an abortion, I would be shamed. But, if I kept the child, I would be criticized for being a bad mom.

It’s the notion that I wouldn’t be allowed to leave the baby’s dad with the baby and disappear while paying no child support, yet men are allowed to do that.

It’s the notion that once I have a child, I am expected to put my career on the back-burner, or else I will be seen as a bad mother. However, if I do stay at home with my child, people will also criticize me for not supporting my family financially.

It’s the notion that Donald Trump had the audacity to say that Hillary Clinton is where she is in her career simply “because she is a woman.”

Please, do not get me wrong, I am not the biggest Hillary supporter (#FeelTheBern), yet I do believe that Trump attacking Clinton simply because she is a woman is unjust.
