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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
