Donald Trump vs. Pope Francis

When it comes to women's rights, two people that have completely opposing views are Donald Trump, and the greatest Pope of all time, Pope Francis. In order to compare these two I am going to use REAL quotes.

Donald Trump:
“Women have one of the great acts of all time. The smart ones act very feminine and needy, but inside they are real killers. The person who came up with the expression ‘the weaker sex’ was either very naive or had to be kidding. I have seen women manipulate men with just a twitch of their eye — or perhaps another body part.”-Donald Trump in "Trump: The Art of the Comeback"

Pope Francis
"Women of strength, fighters, with that spirit of courage which puts you on the front lines in the proclamation of the Gospel, I wish to say 'thank you,' a big thank you... and to tell you that I love you very much."

As you can see here, Donald Trump, accused women of being manipulative, and "real killers", Where as Pope Francis says that Women are strong and courageous  and appreciates all they do for the Church and our Families. 

Donald Trump
"It's certainly not groundbreaking news that the early victories by the women on 'The Apprentice' were, to a very large extent, dependent on their sex appeal." 

Pope Francis
"Women are too often looked upon in the Church as servants and not as sisters, who are as much in charge as brothers,"

Donald Trump believes that in order to get success, women need to be dependent on their sex appeal. Pope Francis however, believes that women's role, in the Church and outside the Church is to be supportive, and equal to their male counterparts, rather than a slave to their male counterparts.


To wrap it up, I would like to share a REAL tweet by Donald Trump

Donald Trump:
26,000 unreported sexual assults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?

Donald Trump assumes that when you put men and women together, it is human nature that there will be sexual assault, when in reality, the way society sexualizes EVERYTHING, leads to Rape and Sexual Assault.

In conclusion, Pope Francis for President.

PSAs and Passion Project Progression

This week has been pretty productive! Last week I reached out to the Gender Studies department at UNCC to look for a speaker, and the response I got was incredible! I had one of the professors email me, just to tell me about the importance of my project and how she was impressed by it, and that really meant a lot to me. I was able to find a speaker, and will be meeting with her in the next week or so, to discuss my plans, and intent with my project.
In class this week, we have been working on Public Service Announcements, and my group was assigned online safety, I think the video came out really well and I hope people get the message from it. They will be published next week, and so I will like the video to my blog. It was cool working with software such as iMovie and Garage Band more to create the project, and I am starting to feel more and more competent with the software.

I also am in the process of working on the video, and have finished interviews and I think the material I have will work really well.

This week I found a campaign and organization that I'm really interested in. The organization is called The Representation Project. They produced a couple of documentaries, including Miss Representation, a very popular movie on the representation of women in media, and how women view themselves as powerful from their beauty and sexuality rather than their ability to be a leader. Not only does the campaign work with women's portrayal, but they talk a lot about the mask that men wear to seem "manly" and "strong". Here are two videos by Representation Project!!!
