Pear, Robert et al. “Trump Administration Rolls Back Birth Control Mandate.” Donald Trump’s Effect on Women: Positive or Negative? Have you as a female ever wondered, “Now that Donald Trump is president how will my life as a woman change?”. Donald Trump is the talk of the town amongst many women for positive and negative reasons. He is known for having a bad rep in the female community and even with other groups. Donald Trump is known for being very blunt and temperamental when it comes to his choice of words and how he reacts in situations. So far not many have challenged Donald Trump on his views and how he treats others but, I believe women are going to change that and be against or with him. Most people view Donald Trump as an anti-feminist but, based on the research found, Donald Trump can be more feminist than you may think. This …show more content…
As hard as it may be to believe, there has been lots of evidence supporting how Trump can be just for women as he is with men. According to Ivanka Trump she says, “My father is a feminist… people talk gender equality. He has lived it, he has employed women at the highest levels of the Trump organization for decades, so I think it’s a great testament to how capable he thinks women are…” (Time). There is also this idea that Donald Trump speaks the same way to both males and females and “isn’t a gender based player” (Cohen, Times). The Washington Post also resurfaces old statements from Donald Trump on how he views women. Donald Trump says in one quote, “I began to realize that women are far stronger than men… some women try to portray themselves as being the weaker sex, but don’t believe it for a minute” ( “Trump: The Art of the Comeback”). Another quote Washington Post provided was Trump saying, “I’ve hired a
Throughout his time speaking at various Universities, Yiannopoulos has spoken about things many would find controversial. When speaking about feminism, he’s stated things such as “Women don’t work as hard” and “if there is a sex that deserves to be put in camps, women
The Great Depression affected everyone and everything in America. It affected families, friends, businesses, jobs, cities, states, the entire country! But everyone, no matter whether they were a man, a woman, or an african american, was affected in different ways, some ways worst than others. Everyone who lived through the Great Depression had a different experience for themselves. The women had a tougher time surviving than the men. The white men got jobs faster than the african americans. The african americans were the first fired and the last hired.
Shelby Cronin-Sporys 10C CAT – For Mice and Men. In the text, Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck explores the harsh and negative impacts that occur as a result of the magnitude of discriminatory behaviour directed toward marginalised groups and individuals. Through the lens of Curley’s wife, we see how the inequalities and sexisms affect her, through Crooks we see the injustices he faces as a person of African American descent, and through Candy we see how he is affected as a man with a disability. The ranch and the characters within serve as a form of commentary on the wider society during America in the 1930’s, displaying how the microaggressions prevalent in societal norms and how they affect those in prejudiced groups.
Gail Collins, in her article “Sexism: Let’s Deconstruct Donald” (09.09.2016) suggests that Donald Trump’s attacks on Hillary Clinton could be sexist, and argues that we should “not jump to conclusions” even though Trump “makes insulting personal remarks about everyone he disagrees with”. Collins supports her claim by listing points that Trump had attacked Clinton on over this election cycle, such as Clinton’s voice, “Trump is basically saying that only guys get to holler”, Clinton’s health, “a staple of presidential politics long before we had a women in the race”, and how she does not “look” presidential. The author’s purpose is to suggest that Donald Trump’s critiques on Hillary Clinton are fueled by sexism,instead of his usual “personal
Women already had a problem with Donald Trump, but his “NASTY WOMAN” comments only exacerbated it. Over the years, he had called women pigs, fat, ugly, bimbo, and body shame them. His bullying of former Miss America, Alicia Machado on twitter showed a lot of people that he doesn’t respect Women and is NOT fit to be President.
During this time period of the Great Depression the U.S went through many social and economic changes. From 1929-1939 people suffered the effects of the stock market crash, business failures and bank collapses. People took their money out of banks which made the economy worse and put us deeper into a depression. There was an increase in unemployment and many families lost their jobs which caused them to lose their homes and savings. Many husbands abandoned their wives and many people starved. The streets were filled with garbage and filth. Throughout the depression woman were largely effected in many ways.
In contrary to the statement “ Some scholars have argued that conditions during the great depression served to make female bread winners more socially acceptable”. I believe that during the depression, female breadwinners were not socially accepted. The major determinants that never allowed the female breadwinners acceptable are the employment ratio, gender discrimination, race, and immigrants.
On Friday, January 20, 2017, Donald J. Trump became the President of the United States. However, the next day, women from all around the world marched for many reasons, one of them is Trump. There have been countless debates over these topics, but I believe it is good to be neutral on the subject.
During a GOP debate last August, Megyn Kelly ask Trump about his previous nasty remarks about women, Trump was not too happy about the question. Often times during one of Trump debate when a question arises that Trump see as an attack from the moderators, he often lashes out and attacks right back, whether in the moment, or afterwards on social media. This is defensive mechanism for Trump, as he feels that he must defend himself, and make himself seem bigger and better, a way to defend his masculinity. This mechanism is analogous to the situation described in Pascoe’s piece of masculinity, where some teenager calls other teenagers “faggot” in order to defend their masculinity. In this instance Trump is cornered to talk about his derogatory comments toward women, Trump not happy to answer the question and after the debate, attack Kelly in a CNN interview stating that “There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.” This comment made by Trump is obviously referring to women’s menstrual cycle. When Trump talk about the Megyn Kelly’s blood everywhere, Trump was saying that Kelly was on her period, and that was why Kelly was attacking him. Trump as not only attack women about their biological function, but also their physical qualities, as in our next
Donald Trump is a name that nearly every person with access to social media knows. When he began his campaign for presidency in the citizens of the United States, as well as most of the developed world, took it as a joke. They did not believe that a businessman with multiple failed ventures and no political background to speak of could succeed in the presidential race. Because of this his trail got a much larger amount of media coverage than any other candidate in the 2016 race. Throughout his coverage he has had numerous changes in his political stances, from accepting the outcome of the election to Muslims to minimum wage and taxes (Here). While many of his stances have changed in drastically conflicting manners there has been one consistent theme throughout his campaign trail; treatment and objectification of women. Repeatedly Donald Trump has made comments which substantiate this idea that he has little to no respect for women, most recently the comment of “grab them by the pussy”. The question then comes in as to why women still support Donald Trump regardless of his seemingly substandard opinion of them.
The title of the article found in the latest releases of the Kaiser Family Foundation website is Ten Ways That the House American Health Care Act Could Affect Women. This article breaks down the new American Health Care Act (AHCA) and compares it to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), with a special emphasis on the impact on women. The ten points discussed in the article are as follows: “Medicaid eligibility, capping federal Medicaid and Planned Parenthood, abortion coverage, tax credits, premium and cost-sharing subsidies, insurance reforms, essential health benefits, preventative services, contraceptive coverage, and lastly, pregnancy-related care,” (Ranji, Salganicoff, Sobel, & Rosenzweig, 2017).
Since their inception in the 19th century, women’s colleges in the United States have faced significant challenges and undergone a multitude of transformations in their pursuit to educate women (Kratzok, 2010; Thelin, 2004; Turpin, 2010). In recent years, economic hardship has forced many women’s colleges to reexamine their identity and initial purpose, as rising costs and dwindling enrollments have led a majority to co-educate or close their doors entirely (Hursh & Wall, 2011; Kratzok, 2010). The fierce competition for students in today’s higher education climate has hit women’s institutions particularly hard, as once there were over three hundred women’s colleges and only about seventy presently remain (Women’s College Coalition, 2001). Though women make up the majority of undergraduate students (Turpin, 2010), the future of these small, private women’s colleges seems uncertain (Langdon & Giovengo, 2003). However, by examining their contentious historical beginnings to their evolution in the 21st century, one can determine the pivotal role women’s colleges still play in the United States higher education system.
The Trump Administration has put forth a policy change limiting the right of women to obtain birth control based upon religious freedom grounds. So basically, insurance companies or employers do not have to cover birth control but at the same time it causes problems because just because someone is taking birth control does not necessarily mean that they are sexually active. One could take it for health reasons such as ovarian cyst or menstrual hemorrhaging. There’s a lot of cons about this argument because quite frankly it is no ones’ business what a woman chooses to do with her body. If it has something to do with religion then Trump should band Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs too.
Secretary of State during the Clinton Presidency, was quoted in the New York Times as saying that she “personally encountered male chauvinism in Washington” (Walsh, 2016). In her own words, Ms. Albright said: “it was the little things, whenever I raised my hand in meetings, men would always say ‘don’t be so emotional’, or would drum their fingers on the table and say I was taking too long to make decisions” (Walsh, 2016). This serves as yet another example of gender bias in politics, considering the level of respect and international prominence Ms. Albright earned while serving in this key presidential cabinet position on the world stage. If Ms. Albright achieved this level of respect, then how could Mrs. Clinton not have also led as president? It is unfortunate that gender bias continues to separate women from having their voices heard in high political office. Clearly, including women in political decisions would be the gateway to changing domestic priorities for our
Donald Trump is one of the most controversial world leaders of our time. Two people may find it challenging to agree on certain things about him. While some see him in the positive light, others can describe him with negative descriptive. Whatever angle from which you’re looking at Donald Trump, he
