How Can Women Support Trump?

This year is the first presidential election I am eligible to vote in and boy do I feel lucky. I may be young, but this is the craziest, most hostile election I’ve ever seen. I’ve never really been big into politics or that interested to be completely honest, but since this is my first time voting, I obviously needed to have an open mind and submerge myself into the craziness that is this presidential election.

After watching videos, news coverage and quite frankly just looking at social media, I completely agree that this election is basically choosing the lesser of the two evils.

I do not entirely agree with Hillary, but especially after watching the debate last night, I have no idea how any woman in her right mind could support Donald Trump.

I have never really considered myself as much of a feminist, but the things he says about women are just down right degrading and legitimately make me ill. When he was questioned last night about his comments during a video where he talked about grabbing women’s genitals and kissing them without consent, he very lightly played it off and repeatedly referred to his comments as “locker room talk.” He also tried to play off his comments by bringing up the “worse” things in the world, like Isis. Yes, Mr. Trump, Isis is quite horrible and terrifying, but that does not give you the right to demean the severity of the sexual assault of women in the United States and it especially does not give you the right to sexually assault women either.

He has had countless of other incidents of him completely disrespecting and belittling women throughout his whole campaign and his whole life to be frank. For example, when he referred to former Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado as “Miss Piggy.” In regards to this he has also said "She was the winner and she gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem for us." Let’s also not forget about how he brings up the Clinton’s marriage every chance he gets and even claiming that Hillary obviously “can’t satisfy.” In what world is it ok to blame a woman for her husband’s infidelity?

This man has the opportunity to be the most powerful man in the world. In. The. World. That completely horrifies and disgusts me as a woman and I do not understand how he has a single female supporter to be blunt.

You might not like Hillary and you might think she has done wrong in her political career, but at least she has one. She has been around politics for over 40 years and regardless of any scandals that may have happened she has done a lot of great things and continues to advocate for the things she believes in instead of verbally attacking everyone and everything in sight.

Before you vote, please think about yourself and your daughters and your best friends and any woman in this country or even globally because no one should have to live in a world with such a disgustingly misogynistic man as the leader of the free world.

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!
