I Am A Woman, And I Am Not Ready to Accept Donald Trump As My President

After the shocking final results of the 2016 election, I am terrified for America

I Am A Woman, And I Am Not Ready to Accept Donald Trump As My President

Remember when Donald Trump running for president was just a joke? Everyone laughed and thought he wouldn't last in the election. Well, congratulations America. You have now elected this man as President of the United States. This man is now the commander in chief for the next four years. Frankly, I have a hard time calling him a man. He is no man, he is a monster. He is a racist, sexist, bigot and I am terrified for our country.

As a woman with LGBT, Muslim, Native American, and African American friends, I am terrified. Under the power of Donald Trump we are now considered minorities. We are no longer equal and I am afraid our rights will be taken away as well. The way Donald Trump speaks about woman and to woman makes me fear for our safety for the next four years. Rape and sexual assault is now okay. Bullying is now okay. Being racist, sexist, and judgmental is now okay because there is no punishment. Two men who have been proven of sexually and verbally assaulting woman, being homophobic, and racist have just been elected as President and Vice President of our country.

Since the election results, America has been terrified. Protests, rallies, violence, and panic has spread across the nation. However, love will always win. We are a united nation and in order to survive four years of a trump presidency, fighting against each other is not the answer. We are called the UNITED States of America and now is the time to unite together and help each other out. I am a woman and I am against rape, sexist comments and racism. One fight just ended, but another fight has just begun. Women and "minorities" will stay united because that's what America is, has been, and will be about.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
