I'll keep this article short and sweet because I am sure everyone is sick of politics this election season. After reading about Trump supporters tweeting "#repealthe19th", I was about to put my head through a wall. I was insanely infuriated.
My initial thought was how are we taking a step back?! Women fought too damn long to gain the right to vote in the first place and now they are trying to take it away?!
I felt personally attack. This is the first election I am able to vote and Trump supporters were trying to take that away.
WHY?
So Trump could win! What kind of screwed up democracy is this idea apart of?
My frustration is based off my life long battle against gender equality has always been a thing for me! I grew up playing sports. I grew up and would always hang out with my brother and his friends (even though he hated it). I grew up being just as smart as the boys in my class. I work hard to make myself seem dignified and professional, just as hard as a man, and this is what I get! This is bullshit.
What infuriates me the most is that I am a young woman who will be heading into the job field in a couple years. There is still a pay gap! There is still the glass ceiling! I don't wont to be working a job and make less than a man that does the same job as me. Ugh!
This needs to stop now. This is more than having the right to vote, this is about women being treated with respect. Women deserve more then this. We deserve respect! We deserve equality! And most of all, we deserve the right to vote!
