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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
