A Vote For Hillary Clinton Is Not A Feminist Vote

Hillary Clinton only cares about Hillary Clinton.

A Vote For Hillary Clinton Is Not A Feminist Vote

Many feminists, including myself, want a woman president. Women are strong and powerful and have historically been good leaders. I want a woman to be the president of the United States, but I want a woman who cares about and fights for other women as well as other minorities and citizens, is honest, and has our country’s best interest at heart. That person is not Hillary Clinton.

Many women voting for Hillary think that she will be the voice of representation for the women of our country, but that is just not the case. Why would she be our voice now when back in the ‘80s and ‘90s she not only did not support the women who came out about the sexual abuse at the hands of her husband and then president, she actually destroyed and threatened them in pubic to discredit them. Not only this, but she stayed with the man who committed theses horrible crimes against women. Nothing about that screams feminism or the voice for women. A true feminist would have supported those women and helped them legally fight back against her husband, but she did not. Why? Because the only person Hillary Clinton cares about is Hillary Clinton. She stayed with her abusive husband because she knew that’s what she needed to do to remain in a position of power.

She also has a shady legal background and seems to show zero remorse for any of her illegal actions which seem to be involved in, as a friend of mine stated, "Some of the most famous criminal investigations known to politics."

It would be one thing if I was bashing on Clinton because she is a woman, as I’m seeing done many other places. I am sick and tired of seeing, “If Hillary couldn’t keep her husband happy, then how could she keep the country happy?” Or constant bashing of her physical appearance. Or constant sexist insults thrown her way, such as slut, b*tch and even c*nt. I do not like Hillary in the slightest, but the extreme sexism that she is facing is horrible and wrong. I am not bashing on her because she is a woman -- I love women and as a feminist I will fight for them until I am old and weak. I am here pointing out her faults and misconduct because she is a bad person.

She is not a voice of women. She is not a voice of our people. She is not the voice that our country needs. Trust me, I want a strong and powerful woman in charge of our country more than anything, but I want someone who is worthy of the job and that person is just not Hillary Clinton.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
