Should We #SaveMelania?

After all, no one deserves to be married to Donald Trump.

Should We #SaveMelania?
Celebrity Insider

The infamous hashtag began when videos and gifs circulated the internet of 45th's inauguration. In these clips, it appeared that Melania Trump was not only completely ignored by her husband, but also that she expressed a clear dislike, some might even say hatred, for him. Thus, the hashtag #SaveMelania began to pick up steam.

For the most part, it has been forgotten, with a few resurgences every time Melania shuns her husband's attempts at hand-holding or other affections. However, the latest video of Melania and Donald is downright cringe-worthy, and has successfully reignited the question: does Melania Trump need saving?

Some say no, on the grounds that her relationship with 45 is healthy and not the concern of the public. While there is definitely some controversy on the former, I can concede to the latter.

Some say no, that she is implicit in the Trump administration and is therefore as guilty as he is in everything that is happening in the nation.

Some say no, that she knew what she was getting into when she entered into a "gold-digging", "green card" marriage.

Others say yes because the constant tabloid sensations of her husband's sexual exploits, including rape and molestation accusations, wear on any wife. Especially as the "porn star" scandal revealed that Trump engaged in sexual activities while Melania was a new mother to their son, Barron.

Others say yes, that even if she whispers in her husband's ear, she likely is acting as a scapegoat for other, more influential people in the administration.

Others say yes, that even someone who entered into a marriage of this nature should still get a chance at redemption. Who knows what atrocities are threatened in her pre-nup should she terminate the marriage?

Both sides seemingly have endless arguments for their respective beliefs. Even more don't give a flying f**k.

What do you think? Should we #SaveMelania?

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
