I Am A Woman And I Will Fight Back

We will not repeal the 19th amendment.

I Am A Woman And I Will Fight Back
ChicagoTribune

During this whole election, I have tried to keep my opinions to myself. I don't like when people put all of their opinions on Facebook and decide that they don't want to defend their opinions. They are, in fact, opinions and can be argued upon. When I learned that people were arguing that we should repeal the 19th Amendment, I thought, this has to be a joke. I was wrong.

There are men and women out there who want to repeal the 19th Amendment because if women are allowed to vote, Donald Trump will lose the presidency. This is lunacy! Women are trying to take other women's rights away. I am absolutely disgusted. Do they not understand that without the 19th Amendment, they will no longer be "free". They will once again become property and not be able to freely give an opinion.

Women worked hard to get the right to vote. How can a woman decide that all of the hard work wasn't worth it just to elect a man who does not care about women or their rights. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony are rolling over in their graves right now because of how stupid these women are being. These women were ridiculed and laughed at for trying to give women more rights. Not long ago, women were still expected to stay home and take care of children. Do these Donald Trump supporters want that too? Do they really want to stay home all day with their children or force women who want careers to do so? How is this even happening?

Without Stanton and Anthony, I, a woman, would not be allowed to write this. I would not be allowed to attend college. I would not be allowed to have the choice to a career. I would not be allowed freedom. The woman who are supporting repeal the 19th amendment are trying to ruin their own lives. I don't think they understand the repercussions to their actions and words; which by the way, they wouldn't be able to express without the 19th Amendment.

I am a woman and I will fight for my rights. When women start turning against each other, the bond breaks and that is when the real tragedy starts to happen.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
