Did We Really Think That They Were Going To Let A Woman Become President?
I do not want to become one of those people who thinks that everything is about race or gender. But when it comes to this presidential election, it is immensely glaring that it was about race and gender. Why did Hillary lose? It’s because she’s a woman! It seems very simplistic to reduce it to that, but that’s exactly what it boils down to. This entire election has been a very fun spectacle from start of finish.

Sometimes it appears as if much progress have been made in the quest for gender equality and for women in the society to be recognized as something other than sex objects. Then once in a while, we receive shockers like an intended president of a country bragging about groping women and an actual president of a country saying his wife belongs in the kitchen and bedroom. It’s the 21st century, but the last time I checked, women still earn 76 cents for every dollar men earn. What I don’t understand is why we have to have this disparity in the first place. Why do women have to struggle in the…
