A new ad from the Clinton campaign has surfaced, highlighting just how detrimental Trump’s presidency could be for women. It’s hard to ignore the overwhelming evidence that suggests he harbors deep-seated disdain for women. So, if you’re a woman planning to vote for him, I can’t help but wonder: what’s going on in your mind? How can anyone watch this ad and still consider casting their vote for this guy? Let’s break it down.
Trump Fears Women in Power
Trump has made it abundantly clear that he views women’s empowerment and independence as a threat. And honestly, he’s right—because strong, autonomous women demand respect and won’t tolerate sexist nonsense. We aren’t interested in fitting into his narrow ideals of attractiveness, and that drives men like him crazy.
“Locker Room Talk” Isn’t Just Talk
When you cast your vote for Trump, you’re essentially giving him a hall pass on his dismissive attitude towards sexual assault, labeling it as mere “locker room talk.” Think about the implications for our daughters! Do we really want to raise them in a society that normalizes such degrading dialogue about women? It’s infuriating to consider that we might live in a country that not only tolerates this behavior but elevates the man who perpetuates it to the highest office.
And let’s not even get started on the fact that Trump seems oblivious to the existence of female athletes in locker rooms—his ignorance is just another layer of his problematic views.
Body Image Issues? No Thanks!
Women already face relentless scrutiny regarding our bodies—do we need our president joining in on that? Trump’s ownership of beauty pageants, where women are judged based on their appearance, only reinforces this culture. He openly critiques women’s weight and beauty, which is utterly unacceptable for someone in a position of power.
He’s Not on Our Side
Sure, women don’t vote based on a single issue. We care about everything from the economy to national security. Some might argue that these topics outweigh Trump’s crude comments about women’s appearances. But let’s be real: when push comes to shove, do you really think he will advocate for our rights? Remember when he suggested punishing women who have abortions? That’s not just a slip of the tongue; it’s a glimpse into his mindset regarding women’s rights.
But What About Hillary?
Yes, Hillary has her flaws. You might think she’s a liar, and you’re not wrong; most politicians bend the truth. But if you believe Trump is any more honest simply because he isn’t a career politician, then that’s a bit far-fetched. He may not have lied about major national issues yet, but he certainly has a track record of distorting facts. If this election comes down to the lesser of two evils, at least Hillary respects women.
Many Trump supporters argue that they’re being pressured to vote for Hillary simply because she’s a woman. First of all, I’ve never heard that argument. And while I’m not voting for someone solely because of their gender, I want a president who values women as equals.
People claim they’d love to see a woman in the Oval Office, just not this one. But I refuse to support a candidate who would insult me and perpetuate misogyny on a global scale. If we’re discussing what should disqualify someone from the presidency, let’s focus on why a Trump presidency should be a non-starter for women. On November 8th, let’s show Trump that our bodies aren’t for grabbing—women can lead!
