(Note: Some of you have noticed the lack of italics and such lately; iPad hates blogger beyond a certain post length and formatting doesn't carry over from word programs. So I use - and caps and the like when I'm writing on iPad.)
Right, so. Those of us on Twitter have seen the trending hashtag, right? #TrumpGirlsBreakTheInternet? Yeah that one. Well, let me lay down some shit for you people right about now.
First and foremost, I'm a Liberal - before you get all judgey, Conservatives, keep reading. I don't like Trump as a person. I don't. He's a douche. I have the same sentiment regarding Hillary, honestly, except I actually trust her -less.- That woman has so many faces even Hel be like 'Dayum girl, who does your makeup?!' (Props if you get that Norse mythology reference.)
HOWEVER. Regardless of who I do or don't like, hell, regardless of who YOU do or don't like... EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN THIS COUNTRY! THAT IS A PART OF OUR CONSTITUTION. They have the right to vote for who they choose and to support who they choose, and for the feminists out there, slut shaming these women and literally egging them in person? HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE MISOGYNISTS? Isn't that what you're supposed to be fighting AGAINST? Or is it only misogyny when men do it, giving you a convenient little loophole to be evil bitches (Hey, if it's okay for you, it's okay for me) to other women who don't go along with your views?
If you want to shame, mock, belittle, and condemn these women simply because of how they look, and what they wear... Wait, isn't that the very same thing you complain about every single day on Tumblr and Twitter, and every other platform you can manage? Stop being such hypocrites!
If these women want to support and vote for Trump, that's their Constitutional right and their choice. I support their freedom of choice, their rights, and their freedom of expression. How is it I, an anti-feminist, am more "feminist" by what feminists claim feminism is about than the feminists I see putting these women down?!
Knock it off, stop behaving like children, and let people do what they're going to do! So what if you don't agree with their choice in presidential candidate? No one ever said you had to! It isn't YOUR choice; it's theirs.
Isn't being a liberal supposed to be about supporting the freedom of choice and supporting of rights and freedom of expression? What happened to that? Since when did it become about mockery and belittling those who don't agree with what you think? Don't you realize you're behaving WORSE than the people you supposedly dislike? Good grief, people, open your damn eyes and look in the mirror once in a while; you're becoming everything you once claimed to be against. No, you aren't becoming it. You HAVE become it, and over what? An election? Some pictures on the Internet? Way to stick to your values, opinions, morals and beliefs. Really showing your integrity, man, I tell ya - or rather, your lack thereof.
The U in the United States has vanished. We aren't United anymore. We've never been more divided. It's sad, and it's pathetic, and it's a testament to the level of immaturity and prejudice (racial, religious and political) that runs rampant in our country - as well as the level of ignorance to see that instead of tearing one another down for our differences, we should be looking at what we have in common and building each other up off of that foundation.
No one person can make America great again, especially not when so many individuals in this country are making it worse every single minute. It will take a unified effort to make this country great. And for that to happen, these lines in the sand have to vanish. Sadly.. I don't see that happening any time soon, not with so many people having their heads up their asses.

The Hypocrisy of Feminists (Generally Speaking)
The reason I included 'generally' in this title is because I have met and/or spoken to feminists who fall outside of this generalization, and am aware that there are exceptions to the rule. So yes, in a sense, I'm saying "#NotAllFeminists" here. This is out of respect for the feminists that have earned my respect.
That being said, by and large, the majority of feminists have yet to do this. The majority of feminists have become a toxic, cancerous plague upon society and social networks. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. They claim they want equality, and turn around and complain at NDAA because they 'don't want equality like that.' Or complain about women that are against feminism. Well, let me tell you something.
Just because there are people - male and female alike - against feminism doesn't mean they are against equality. Feminism is NOT for equality, and I don't care what dictionary definition you regurgitate, actions speak louder than words, and the feminist majority has spread nothing but misandry, racism (prejudice against white people IS STILL RACISM BY DEFINITION), misogyny, hate against CIS and straight people and even transphobia - namely against transwomen. Feminism has even excluded men from identifying as proper feminists - they can only be feminist allies. Then there's the whole "he for she" thing; feminism is all about promoting strong and independent women, yet it turns around and asks men for help? What?
If a person - especially a woman - states they are against feminism, they are bullied, they are harassed, they are threatened and mocked and belittled. They're insulted and told they should be raped, or beaten, or that they shouldn't have uteruses and aren't real women. I have faced so much bullshit because I identify as an egalitarian rather than a feminist, and truthfully, I've faced quite a lot of misogyny as well. Feminism claims to be against misogyny yet the very people who identify as feminists are throwing it around left and right! It's as though they feel women are only entitled to their opinions and rights if they identify as feminists and agree with the feminist ideology and dogma. That isn't equality. That isn't equal rights. That's why so many refer to feminists as feminazis. That sort of attitude - agree with us or else - is the very same attitude that drove the Nazi party. Biased propaganda, burning books that disagree with your ideals, harassing and bullying and attacking those that disagree with you, that identify as something differently than you, that challenge your beliefs... Does that sound familiar?
Just because I'm a woman against feminism doesn't mean I'm against equality. It doesn't mean I'm against equal rights. It doesn't mean I'm uneducated or stupid. It means I disagree with the social cancer that is feminism. I am pro-equality; I fight for men and women alike. Men need help in so many areas and feminism has completely ignored that in favor of seeking out female privilege; women have had equal rights to men for many years, and while there were certain areas where they were oppressed, that isn't the case anymore. What you're seeking for "equality" is really just privilege, and trying to change the world to protect your thin skinned ass from anything that may make you even slightly uncomfortable. Well, guess what? The world is full of things that will make you uncomfortable regardless of your gender. Get used to it, and deal with it like a damn adult. Help people that really need it. Look into equal rights for men, look at how they're genuinely oppressed and how the system is legitimately biased against them. Fight for them, if you are really for equality. They need your help, and so do many others.
Stop with the hypocrisy, stop attacking women just because they don't identify as feminists; they aren't your enemy. If you can't co-exist with non-feminists, you aren't for equality; everyone should have the right to their own opinion and ideals, their own choice to how they identify, in an equal society. If you oppress people who differ from you, you aren't for equality; period.
