"Men should never have given women the right to vote" twitter user @hollyanswers claims.

Thursday morning, I saw this article discussing the Trump backers that have decided to suggest removal of women's voting rights, since Trump would win, based on this analysis. You read all that right--because male supporters of Trump aren't getting what they want, they would rather remove women's right to vote than continue to believe that their female counterparts have valid voices in a country they live in, supposedly, as equals. If you can find me a better demonstration of how flawlessly the seat of women as second-class citizens has been maintained, I'd be amazed. However, this is not just men propagating this hashtag, there are also female supporters claiming they'd be willing to give up their vote for Trump to win.

And this is after all the gregarious claims he has made against women, and then blatantly refused.

This is giving up a right women have not yet held for a full 100 years.

The likelihood of this repeal taking place before November is essentially none. "Essentially" even makes light of it--this isn't possible to be done before the election. That didn't stop twitter from responding in typical twitter fashion and smashing #repealthe19th like they've smashed other heinous hashtags.

So go vote. For the love of pretending women and men are treated equally, go vote.

I'm not here to tell you who to vote for. I'm not here to tell you who I'm going to vote for. In fact, I'm literally just here to tell you to vote. Women need to use this right, we need to follow through with our duty, because there are other citizens in our country who actively want to remove it from us. And how dare they.

Now, go watch "Iron Jawed Angels" and stomp to those polls.

You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.
