A new advertisement from the Clinton campaign underscores the numerous ways in which Trump is detrimental to women. It’s alarming. The evidence suggests he has a blatant disregard for women, which leads me to ponder: if you’re a woman casting your vote for Trump, what is your reasoning? How can any woman view this ad and still consider supporting him? Let’s break it down.
Trump’s Views on Women
Trump views women having power and autonomy as a threat. And in a way, he’s correct—because empowered women challenge men like him. We demand respect and refuse to tolerate sexist behavior. We are not interested in conforming to his standards of beauty, and that infuriates him.
The Impact of “Locker Room Talk”
His infamous “locker room talk” poses a risk to all of us. By supporting Trump, you’re endorsing his dismissive attitude towards sexual assault, which is particularly concerning for our daughters. I do not wish for my daughter to grow up in a society where such toxic conversation is normalized. The thought of her potentially living in a country that would elect a man who trivializes misogyny makes me furious. When considering the implications of this attitude on the boys in her future, it’s infuriating.
Furthermore, Trump’s failure to acknowledge that women can be athletes who use locker rooms reveals a lot about his perspective, but with so many other issues at hand, we can’t delve into that right now.
Body Image and Leadership
Have you ever struggled with body image? Do we really need the president making judgments about our appearance? Trump’s background in beauty pageants—where women are assessed on their looks—only highlights his shallow views. He openly holds disdain for women who don’t fit his arbitrary standards of beauty. How can we accept that from a leader?
Women’s Votes and Broader Issues
Women’s votes are not just about one issue. We care about immigration, the economy, and safety, and some may feel that despite Trump’s offensive remarks, these topics outweigh concerns about his views on women. However, I completely disagree. When the pressure is on, do you truly believe he will advocate for us? Remember his statement about punishing women who seek abortions? Even if he later recanted, it’s telling that his initial instinct was to impose punishment. That mindset will persist if he becomes president, and we will be adversely affected.
Addressing the Elephant in the Room: Hillary
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: Hillary. Perhaps you dislike her and think she’s untrustworthy. You’re not alone in that sentiment. Yet, if you believe Trump is somehow more straightforward because he’s not a career politician, that’s misguided. He lies about trivial matters, so why would he be more truthful about significant national issues? If this election is about choosing the lesser of two evils, remember that Hillary respects women.
I’ve seen comments suggesting that voting for Hillary is merely because of her gender. I’ve never heard that argument made seriously. Gender aside, I want to feel proud of our president and know that they view women as equals. I don’t want to support a candidate who would publicly insult women or promote misogyny globally. The reasons some say should disqualify Hillary should surely apply to Trump as well.
Conclusion
Let’s stand firm as women and make it clear on Election Day that we reject his views. Our voices matter—let’s show that women are leaders too.

Summary
Women voting for Trump raises many questions about their motivations, especially given his history of misogynistic comments and disregard for women’s issues. Despite some believing his stances on other policies outweigh his views on women, it is crucial to consider how he views and treats women overall. The need for a leader who respects women’s rights and dignity is essential, and standing together is vital for progress.
