An Open Letter to Donald J Trump From A College Woman
Power Line Blog

Dear Mr. Donald J Trump,

My name is Mallory Allen and I am a 19 year old college sophomore. But, to be frank Mr. Trump, I don't think you really care about my age or my name. I do however think you would be astonished to know that I am a woman. I don't think you realize that I, a smart, intelligent, young woman, am capable of addressing you in a way where I act equal to you--a male. To me Mr. Trump, this is a huge problem.

Now Mr. Trump, don't you dare assume that I'm some democratic hippie feminist who hates men. I am fiscally republican and socially democratic, smack dab in the middle of things. To be honest, before you ran for president I was more on the conservative side of the spectrum. But you Donald, have pushed me, and millions of women across America to the left.

I feel sorry that you--a sexist, privileged white male--are running against a woman for President. Because Mr. Trump, half of America is made of women. I also have to remind you that you were brought into this world by your MOTHER, who is also a woman. I hate to break it to you but your body was created in a WOMB. I know this may be hard for you to hear considering that CNN reported, "In July 2015, attorney Elizabeth Beck told CNN's Alisyn Camerota that Trump a few years earlier had suffered an 'absolute meltdown' after she requested a break to pump breast milk." Or what about that one time, Mr. Trump, when your opponent took 'too long' on her bathroom break and you promptly stated, "I know where she went, it's disgusting, I don't want to talk about it." Well guess what Mr. Donald J. Trump? I have breasts, just like most females on planet earth, and yes I also have a uterus. In reality Mr. Trump, it is not our natural bodily functions that are disgusting, rather, your opinions on a woman's body are repulsive and disgusting.

Donald, you are perpetuating the stereotypes that we as women have been fighting for so long. Are you aware that the word 'hysterical' derives from the ancient greek word for womb? As women, we have been denoted as crazy just because we are emotional. You, Mr. Trump, have been quoted calling different women "wacky", "neurotic dope[s]" and "off the wall." These stereotypes continue because of people like you. You, a solitary white male, are dismantling how far women have come since we earned the right to vote.

Speaking of which Donald, we do have that right. You must have forgotten that. In 1920 women fought and won the right to vote. It is amazing to see a woman next to you on the podium considering the rights we have lacked for so long. A woman running for president is part of this evolution. Yet you have compared Hillary to her husband Bill countless times. A woman is a separate entity from her husband, not an extension of them. Hillary has her own ideas and policies and most of all, her own campaign. Although you have different beliefs than your opponent, it is absolutely unacceptable to insult ANY woman by comparing them to their husband or to post sexist comments on twitter.

So, Mr. Trump, I hope you have learned something. It is absolutely not okay to talk this way about women. Just because you say, "No one has more respect for women more than I do," does not mean that your previous comments about women will be forgotten. Women across America are not voting for Hillary merely because she is a woman, but because you are a woman hater.

So good luck Donald, because I'm sure grabbing them "by the pussy" is a real boost for your presidential campaign.

Sincerely,

A Strong Independent Woman

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.
