Donald Trump has been blamed for just about everything. Pundits said he would crash the market. Race hustlers said he would cause a greater rift between whites and minorities. Now, feminists are even blaming him as the reason they’ve given up on finding love.
Stephanie Land wrote in The Washington Post on Monday that she’s no longer looking for a relationship because of Trump.
“I’ve lost the desire to attempt the courtship phase. The future is uncertain. I am not the optimistic person I was on the morning of Nov. 8, wearing a T-shirt with ‘Nasty Woman’ written inside a red heart,” Land wrote in her op-ed. “It makes me want to cry thinking of that. Of seeing my oldest in the shirt I bought her in Washington, D.C., that says ‘Future President.’”
“There is no room for dating in this place of grief,” she continued. “Dating means hope. I’ve lost that hope in seeing the words ‘President-elect Trump.’”
Land said throughout the article that she was strong enough to pay her bills, raise her children, and financially support her family. But dealing with Trump’s victory? That’s a bridge too far.
Feminists love to claim that they are as strong (or stronger) than men and that they’re not some delicate flower. I am woman hear me roar — but if an election doesn’t go my way, watch me cry.
Anyone clinging to a support group for up to eight years because of something entirely out of their control shouldn’t be looking for a boyfriend. They should seek a therapist and stop blaming Trump.
