As A Woman, It's Empowering To Watch Jill Biden Protect Joe Biden From Protesters

THAT is the kind of selflessness that I want to see from a potential FLOTUS.

As A Woman, It's Empowering To Watch Jill Biden Protect Joe Biden From Protesters

Joe Biden was giving a speech for his Super Tuesday victories when he was interrupted by anti-dairy protesters. Things turned ugly when the "Let Dairy Die" protesters got too close for comfort and started to storm the stage that Biden was on. Luckily, Joe's wife, Dr. Jill Biden, was there to step in and push the protesters away from him so that he could finish his speech unharmed.

Another amazing woman from the eventful night who deserves a shoutout was Joe Biden's campaign advisor, Symone Sanders. After another protester walked onto the stage, Sanders quickly took them down and ushered them off the stage. Sanders tweeted about the incident by simply saying, "I broke a nail."

As a fellow female, watching Jill Biden and Sanders take down the dairy protesters was absolutely inspiring. First Ladies are usually seen as these elegant wives that just stand beside their husbands and nod along, but Dr. Biden shows us that those stereotypes are definitely not true.

Dr. Jill Biden has always been a feminist icon while also helping her husband during his time in the government. Our former Second Lady, who worked towards her Doctorate in Educational Leadership, continued teaching at a community college after her husband became the Vice President in 2008. She was there with him throughout the campaign while also still making sure to help those less fortunate with her many charitable deeds.

This also isn't the first time that Dr. Biden has had to protect her husband from the crowds during campaigning. Last month, she escorted someone out after they were heckling and filming Joe Biden.

Even if you aren't a fan of Joe Biden, Dr. Jill Biden and Symone Sanders deserve some respect to their names for protecting Joe Biden better than his own security. Dr. Jill Biden and Symone Sanders are absolutely the feminist warriors that we females deserve.

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!
