“I am a Woman, Vote for me”. By Samhita Mukhopadhyay. October 2, 2017
Nasty Women (Pages 1-9).
Summary:
Mukhopadhyay opened up in her first sentence stating that there was the largest glass ceiling in New York City during the 2016 election of The United States Presidency. Hillary Clinton was running to become the first women president in the United States of America. Samhita describe in her writing that women began to get anger and upset once Clinton started to become defeated in the race to success. She states, “In 2016 election wasn’t just a loss for Clinton, but a loss for feminism.” Samhita talks about Clinton wanting to help the minorities and their concerns, and also talking about how Clinton showed interest in women and people of color and sexual minorities and the disabled and how apparently trump didn’t see or consider those people. Samhita explains to readers that our society will or may never see eye to eye on the political positions of these candidates or how the details of identity politics play out on the national stage, but coalitional politics – recognizing and fighting for the diverse needs of many are our best shot at building a progressive future. At the end of this article, Samhita wants to let others begin to love. To do things out of love and not hold people against their own opinions or rights on their personal beliefs.
Response:
While reading this article by Samhita Mukhopadhyay, she discusses the power of people in our society and how people look at others different depending on what they look like, their gender/sex, or their personal beliefs. Since over the years our society has change drastically. Samhita’s whole beliefs was to state a point that women do not necessarily get treated the way we should, but she wants people to at the end of the day love others the way we should because that is the main purpose of life. I personally believe that the purpose of life is to love your neighbor, and treat them the way that you would like to be treated. Being loved is something everyone strives to have in life and if our society keeps pushing people down or not accepting the things that others believe in, we will never love, and we will never see eye to eye. Over the years of society changing our world has pushed farther away from love, and acceptance in life. People now in our society like to judge or hold a grudge over one’s head – a secret in life that I will always hold dear to me, I am not perfect, not one is perfect and I so not expect anyone to be so harsh because of that. Samhita makes a good point come across that yes people are different, but that is how life is, if you do not agree with them that is fine, but still love.
