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.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
