Hillary Clinton promotes the Woman Card

Donald Trump recently gave a speech that included degrading remarks against his competitor’s, Hillary Clinton, presidential campaign. Trump alleged that Hillary’s primary focus in her campaign is the woman card. He further explained that most women do not like the “female candidate.” In spite of Trump’s negativity, Clinton launched a fundraiser that allowed her advocates to obtain an actual women card.

In addition to Clinton’s fundraiser that promotes gender equality, Trump received a response from the secretary of state saying, “if fighting for women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the ‘woman card,’ then deal me in.” Many women could relate to the secretary of state’s perspective considering they’re exhausted from fighting for their rights, and the time for change has arrived. Gender-based discrimination is a major problem in the U.S. that the current presidential candidates have addressed in different ways. For example, while Hillary innovate ideas to rectify the problem, especially in the workplace, Trump condones the issue. Regardless of the political views, gender-based discrimination is much larger than politics, and it’ll require more than both campaigns combined to eradicate the serious matter.
