I'm A Female And I'm Not Offended By This Election

I'm A Female And I'm Not Offended By This Election
Huffington Post

I am a female millennial and I am not offended over this election. I recently read an article about how America has failed females. The article expresses how "racism and sexism continue to be horrific motivating forces for tens of millions of Americans." The reality is that America was simply not ready for a female president. Another reality is that racism and sexism are always going to be part of this world. Notice how I said the word world. I use this noun, instead of country, because this issue is something that is, always has been, and always will be, a matter of contention. It does not matter if the president of the United States of America is Black, White, Hispanic, male, or female, the controversy will forever stand. It is psychology. It is how our human brains are wired, and no feministic, male hating, sisterhood of the traveling pants, human being will change that. I am a female millennial and I am not offended over this election.

I am a female millennial and I am not offended over this election. This country is not saying that women are not good enough, or not as smart, or not as hardworking. I do not feel like I am limited or in danger due to Donald Trump being president. We as Americans, did our civic duty, like those hundreds of years before us, to vote in who we perceived best for this position. A woman who lied about some serious issues, or a man who has no political experience, there was no clear 'good choice' in this situation. But, as I said, we as Americans did what those founding fathers wanted us to do hundreds of years ago. We exercised our right to vote, so how could I be offended about that? I am a female millennial and I am not offended over this election.

I am a female millennial and I am not offended over this election. Is it because I am a woman that I am expected to vote for a female president? Because that is just as sexist as men not wanting to vote for a female president. I am all for equal pay, equality in the workforce, blah blah blah. I am not a feminist, I'm just an American who expects what I am entitled to as much as the next dude. This country was not ready for a female president. It is as simple as that. Just because I am a female, I will not use that as the sole purpose for my decision on who to elect as a leader for our country. Donald Trump being another male who leads this country does not offend me in any way. Him groping some chicks does not offend me. Maybe I am bad at being a female. Or maybe I just understand the way the world works, and it doesn't bother me. Either way, I am a female millennial and I am not offended over this election.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
