When Donald Trump won the presidential election in November, 18-year-old Aria Watson knew she needed to do something. So, she turned to art.
Watson, a first-year student at Clatsop Community College in Oregon, created a powerful photo series titled #SignedByTrump for a final project in a photography class. The images feature some of the sexist comments President-elect Donald Trump has made about women painted on naked womens bodies.
Trumps misogynistic comments paired with these womens naked bodies serves as a powerful commentary on the damaging effect his words have had ― and will continue to have ― on so many women.
Watson told The Huffington Post she decided to mix her political opinions with her photography because she felt so strongly about Trump and Hillary Clinton. I never really cared for or understood politics, but this year was different, she said. As a feminist, when I saw that Donald Trump actually won, my heart shattered.
...
Watson explained why its important we continue to call out Trumps sexism. Kids are going to grow up and look up to this man for the next four years, Watson said. We cant have a leader who says such horrible things about women. Im scared that the way he speaks about women ― this sexism and misogyny ― will end up becoming a social norm.

Talk about un-presidential. These statements are deplorable.

They are fighting back, yet it is painful to behold. What he has done is wrong on so many levels.

(9,527 posts)We have come far enough that an 18 year old woman can do this and get attention for doing so. Not that long ago women weren't in a position to have such a powerful statement.
Yes it sucks that women still have to, but progress isn't linear. We don't move directly forward on any issue without setbacks. Trump is a setback, but he won't permanently end the progress we as a society have made in terms of the radical notion that women are people too.

(83,730 posts)Trump is not a set back. He is an abomination to every woman. He has now, to this entire nation and this world normalized sexual assault on women. He just gave everyman the right to sexually assault women. Just grab them by the P**sy because our new Prez elect said, hell yes do it! It is great! We will make America Great Again!
