When I first started to have my eyes opened to the wonders of feminism in my second year of university, I identified older students in class that I wanted to be like. The girl in the front with the glasses and short hair. The one wearing those Doc Martens. The one who’s always making class ...
I won’t be President. Even if I wanted to, it’ll never happen. The View recently discussed the idea of Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, running for President.
