Saying It's A 'Women's March' Is A Distasteful Portrayal Of Women

I recently came across an article from my absolute favorite social impactor, Tomi Lahren. Her article was regarding the recent Women's March. Her position was anything but ordinary and opened my eyes to the deceptive ideas that lie behind movements like this one.

She speaks out on the vulgar, hateful and embarrassing ways that the women of this movement deteriorate other women and the current presidency. The connotation that follows this event is the empowerment of women, but in most cases, this goal is never met.

"Yeah, nothing says “female empowerment” like a bunch of actual mean girls demeaning and degrading and delegitimizing successful and accomplished women, right? It’s disgusting. The women you are bashing on your signs and with your chants don’t think like you, so we are less than you? Are we the problem? We aren’t "real" women?"


This is not only denoting Americans in general but it is denoting the hard-working women who have succeeded and overcome such adversity.What Tomi is speaking up against is the real problem, not the inequality of women. The women and men who partake in these events are not uplifting and encouraging women to go for what they deserve, they are "marching around in pink hats screaming profanities and demanding free things."

Participants in the Women's March are promoting deceitful images to Americans, females and other cultures that lead them to believe that women are powerless and treated wrongly in America and should just be handed things that other individuals work hard for.

Along with the unintentional deterioration of women through this march is the very intentional disregard for our president. As Tomi says, if the women and men engaging in the march were truly worried about making things better for women, they would acknowledge that President Donald J. Trump has women in some of the most important roles in the White House and in his cabinet along with the first ever mom to be press secretary.

President Trump has also lowered the female unemployment rate, cut taxes, produced economic growth and achieved many more impressive advances unique to his presidency. If the women and men who engage in the march and activities similar to it would consider that our president is not the sole causation for all of the leading issues in our society, maybe they would realize that the way they are going about trying to inspire change is only halting progress.

Now, this isn't to say that the intentions of the Women's March are not real, precisely allocated, and hopeful. This is just to say that what the march has turned into, is not what women should want to associate themselves with. The behaviors and adolescent mindset that has evolved from the march is an embarrassment to not only women but Americans as a whole. There are better, more effective ways to convey a hope for change.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
