I personally think that women should have the choice to show as much skin as they're comfortable with, and it shouldn't negatively impact their careers.
Obviously, guys don't deal with the same level of criticism if they show off their bodies. Russian President Vladimir Putin literally staged a goofy shirtless photo shoot to show the people of Russia how 'handsome' and 'fit' he is. No one questioned his ability to lead a country as a result, although a lot of people did crack jokes about it.
Men can be sex symbols and also earn respect for their professional accomplishments, and the same standard should apply to women.
Former Congressman Aaron Schock was applauded for his fitness when he flaunted his six pack on the cover of 'Men's Health.' Using his sweet pecs didn't end his career, although using taxpayer money to lavishly decorate his office did.
The 2016 election unquestionably deepened the divide between liberals and conservatives.
What's worse - loneliness or a relationship that inevitably leads to costly therapy sessions?
Thanks to advancements in gender equality, you now have salty women like me who not only follow politics but also share their opinions on the daily.
One one hand, it's important to hear out the other side and try to reason with them using facts. The problem arises when we can't even agree on what the facts are. I've found myself walking away from debates when the person I'm talking to just won't acknowledge long-established facts.
How do the same evangelicals who incessantly force-feed us their morals and family values manage to overwhelmingly support someone like Donald Trump?
I don't know how humble a person can be while consistently spouting statements like 'I, Donald Trump, am a totally gifted politician,' or 'I'm, like, a smart person.'
Why do evangelicals support Trump? It could be because he amplified his religious messaging on the campaign trail by saying that women who get abortions should be punished and that he's not in favor of same sex marriage.
Let's keep it real - the only time some right wingers pretend they care about protecting women from sexual assault is when they want to discriminate against the trans community.
Crippling student loan debt doesn't just affect those who took out loans to get an education. It harms all of us because we can't have a healthy economy without a strong middle class to stimulate it.
We consistently allow politicians to get away with playing identity politics rather than demanding evidence of what they're going to do and how they're going to do it.
Creating a system that makes birth control accessible for everyone not only helps women plan for their futures, and lessen the risk of poverty by preventing pregnancy, but it also saves taxpayers money.
It's laughable to claim the pro-life label while simultaneously putting people's lives at risk because you're too stubborn to acknowledge that Medicaid doesn't fund abortions.
No one disagrees that undocumented criminals should be deported.
The Medicaid money that right-wingers want to snatch away from Planned Parenthood actually goes toward critical preventative care and treatments for the disadvantaged. So if pro-life activists are genuine in wanting to preserve human lives, waging a war against clinics that help low-income men and women isn't the way to go.
Much of the criticism centered around Betsy DeVos focuses on her lack of experience with public schools. While she has shown some interest in 'protecting' students from the non-existent threat of grizzlies wandering onto their campuses, she has never run, taught in, attended, or sent a child to a public school.
Charter schools were supposed to compete with public schools, and in turn, that competition was meant to improve education. But that wasn't the end result.
