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.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
