#TrumpGirlsBreakTheInternet Is A Misogynist's Wet Dream

Making America great again begins with girls in wet t-shirts, apparently.

In case you belong to the group of very unhip people who are not concerned with every single thing that trends on Twitter, allow me to inform you of one of the most recent developments in hashtag culture: #TrumpGirlsBreakTheInternet. But don’t think for a second that the trend was an original idea, as the tag was only created after #FatAssesBreakTheInternet and #BigTittiesBreakTheInternet trended over the weekend (If you'd to backpedal even further, technically all "break the Internet" hashtags were inspired by Kim Kardashians's "Paper" cover in 2014.)

Also, don’t think for a second that this hashtag is actually women of similar political views rallying together for comfort and support. No, the hashtag was actually started by a man just hoping to see “hot girls” filling his timeline:


More men crawled out of their respective holes to post pictures of women in Trump 2016 apparel (that they likely found on google images), hoping that the hashtag would actually catch wind.

(Tasteful little caption there, no?)

Eventually, the hashtag gained enough traction to catch the attention of Anti-Trump twitter users who then increased the popularity of the tag to make jokes and troll tweets.

Now, everyone’s entitled to their own ideas and certainly their own political beliefs, but this hashtag has gone beyond creating a “safe-place” for like-minded individuals on the Internet. It’s a place for men to drool over women and assess their worth based on their looks. It's become (or always was) "our (conservative) women versus their (liberal) women."

Naturally, racists have also found their way to the hashtag, pitting the “beautiful white women” who support trump against the women of color.


It’s safe to say that this space isn’t even actually for lady Trump supporters at all, as they are probably the least vocal/active in the tag. Instead it’s a space for misogynists and racists to get their jollies from scantily clad women and picking fights with liberals
(affectionately and albeistly named “libtards” by many).


What could have been respectful conversation among like-minded women is actually just another scheme devised by gross men who want to not only keep women divided, but to promote that their value is in direct correlation to how they stack up against the standard of beauty.

So to all you women who are actually participating in order to receive love and support from these people:

They don't respect any of us.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
