No You Cant : Why Im Still Crying Over Hillary Clintons Loss.
Many women feel this way about Hillary Clinton's defeat in the GE. The loss is not just political; it's personal.
Eirene Donohue
I am her. The words flashed through my head. And suddenly, there on the 101 freeway, I was down the hole again. Tears streaming, sobs choking, heart breaking. The realization hitting me. I am Her.
And here was the root of my pain. This wasn’t just about the disappointment that my candidate lost. Or the fear of what Trump will do to this country. It felt like my very soul hurt and I realized that it was because of what this election said to me as a woman. It said no.
No, woman, stay in your place. No, woman, you are not good enough. No, woman, no matter what you do, you will not win, you will not be the boss of me.
It crushed a part of my female core to realize that yes, the world at large really does hate women that much. And while there are other reasons to dislike Hilary Clinton and disagree with her policies, misogyny and sexism are the gas that fuels the fire they burned her with.
We are supposed to stay quiet and not ask for much. Stay in our place and say please and thank you and don’t challenge anyone. We must be perfect, ten times more perfect than the man beside us. And then we must wait for them to give us permission to follow their orders.
I swear to God, I have no idea how these idiots are able to dress and feed themselves. Such special snowflakes.
NO, the world at large does not hate women, unless you include muslims, who do, but they're off limits to you. The world doesn't want liars, theives (Clinton Foundation), lawyers who destroy a 12 year old girl to get her rapist off, then laugh about it. We don't want someone who is untrustworthy who couldn't care less about anyone and only loves herself.
Go to your safe space, grab a coloring book and some crayons, cuddle with your soft fuzzy stuff animal and put on soothing music. You don't deserve to be an adult.
Liberals. Disgust. Me.
