Tomi Lahren Doesn't Understand Feminism

Do I get an attack video on the Blaze now?

By now, I think most social media goers know of Tomi Lahren. She's a no-holds-back conservative from South Dakota with her own show on The Blaze. She's blown up over the past few months coinciding with the crazy election coverage and election of Donald Trump. She claims to be the voice for the looked over states of the Mid-West as well as a prominent voice in young Conservatives when the country seems to be flowing with young liberals.

While I fully entitle Tomi to whatever opinion she may hold politically, I came across a video of her speaking on feminism due to an attack on her merch item of rhinestone panties. In this response, Tomi says women should stop tearing each other down if the true intention of feminism is to be restored. That's fine and dandy except not but five days later did Tomi "tear down" Meryl Streep for her comments at the Golden Globes.

In this speech, Streep condemns the President Elect for impersonating a disabled reporter during his election campaign trail as this allows those looking up to him to do the same without feeling any remorse for their actions. While the President Elect fully denies this statement, the video is evidence enough. Streep also calls upon the reporters to do their jobs and basically not let Trump scare them into silence. The Golden Globe Cecille DeMille Award Winner also stated that "Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose."

Now, I don't see anything too malicious in Streep's speech and even though it was aimed at Donald Trump, she makes no deliberately vicious attacks on him like he has done to plenty other women who have criticized him.

Tomi released a multitude of tweets about the Golden Globes and the "liberal elite" following Streep's comments. She then produced a video not soon after calling Meryl and the rest of Hollywood "a room of overrated liberals gathered in a room to honor themselves." She goes on to claim Meryl "stayed on her high horse" by promoting the arts as a core part of our country and falsely stated that Meryl believes football watchers are deplorables. Lahren then goes on to call Trump's opponent in the race Hilary Clinton the "most dishonest, lying, sack of crap in the electoral history." How's that whole "let's not tear other women down" thing going for you, Tomi?

Honestly, I see Tomi Lahren as someone who needs a nice chamomile tea instead of spending her time in twitter fights, insulting women (but if it's her, that's not okay) and constantly going after Hillary Clinton. Lahren, Hillary lost. It's okay. Give it up now.

There's so much more I could say on Lahren, but these are my final thoughts.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

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.
