Locker room talk is I can deadlift 300 pounds. Locker room talk is I'm so sore from that jog. Locker room talk is not degrading women. It is not looking at women as a trophy or an object for you to take. It is not going back to primary roots and degrading women. Locker room talk is not being a disgrace to the very women who raised you.

In a world of change and progressive thinking, women are still viewed as objects. Women are still having their name slandered because of male expectations. Women are judged by their bodies. They are viewed negatively based on their sexuality. Men are still living in a world of underlying agendas to get women to compromise their values. The ideal woman is one who has values, but not values so set in stone that a man can't play her emotions like a fiddle.

I want to date a guy who does not look at me as a sexual object. I want to marry a man who doesn't resort to degrading women based on their appearance. I want to have a son that I have raised to respect women and not resort to such a terrible thing as locker room talk.

I question the future if a man who will possibly be running this country looks at women as a sexual agenda. I thought I lived in a world where the president was striving to be a role model. I thought being president was about looking to the younger generation to help them build a better tomorrow. I hope that the younger generation doesn't look to him for what I leader should be.

The term locker room talk is not an excuse for being a pig. You can't be a feminist when you are on the stage with a strong female yet be in the dark ages when you are around your boys. You can't say you support women just to get the female vote. You can't throw your daughter out to the public to hope she can get women on your side. You can't expect the American people to look at you as a leader if the only thing you are leading in is scandals. Somewhere along the lines your character started to show through the locker room talk and into the arena

Women are a prize. They are not something to be conquered. They are not sexual objects walking around for a male's visual pleasure. They are souls with thoughts and feelings. These women are your mother, your sister, your daughter. They are not locker room talk. Mr. Trump, if all you are is locker room talk maybe that is where you should stay.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
