Why Hillary Clinton Doesn't Empower Women

She is not known for standing up for her self when she was done wrong.

Why Hillary Clinton Doesn't Empower Women
Slate

It is no secret that Hillary Clinton is running for president. She is the first woman in history to get this close to holding the highest title in America, but is she the right woman for the job? I do applaud her for her dedication trying to reach this position but she is not the woman I want to represent this country and be known as the first female president the United States of America.

So why doesn't she empower women you may ask. Back in the day, specifically the year 1998, Bill Clinton publicly commented on his infidelity. Hillary could have dropped him like a hot tamale and been a positive example to women showing us that if he cheats you don't need him in your life. But she didn't. Instead, she stayed.

Just in that tiny example, she showed us what not to do. She showed women all across the world that if he cheats it's okay. She had that opportunity to show people not to stay in an unhealthy relationship even if it is in the spotlight but she decided that she would stay with a man who lied to his country and took advantage of a White House intern.

I am not going to mention the corrupt things Hillary has done or the email scandal or the fact that she doesn't even know what she believes (but just throwing those things out there.) But I will mention that she is not a woman who cares about raising the female stereotype, she cares about keeping a certain status. She is known for two things really: deleting emails and being Bill Clinton's wife. She is not known for standing up for her self when she was done wrong. This is why she doesn't empower women.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
