What Donald Trump Being Elected President Means To Me

When I found out that Donald Trump was elected president my heart dropped. I now feel that the majority of America thinks it's okay for a man to sexually assault a women multiple times and make degrading comments towards women.

His actions are going to teach the young women of the world that if they're assaulted, it's not going to matter that a man can still continue his life fine. No wonder why so many rape and sexual assault victims don't speak out about the terrible occurrences.

Trump normalizes these behaviors on a large scale. People didn't vote for Hillary because her email situation left a mistrust with many of the American people. How did America go from having the first African American president for 8 years to having a racist president?

I fear for the people of America. I fear for the minorities of America and how he will treat them. The bullying has already increased and studies show that hate crimes will rise under a Trump presidency. He makes it seem like bullying minorities or anyone is okay; he used fear to win this election. He is going to ruin the global economy in the next year.

I am a Canadian and I will still be affected by Donald Trump being elected President in America.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
