The world is celebrating Domestic Violence Awareness Month this October but not even a week ago, Donald Trump was reportedly caught on tape bragging about how he treats women and claiming afterwards that it was just a locker room talk. Isn't this ironic?
Did Trump just subject himself as an example to such criticism? A leader, who is supposed to work together with the people for empowerment against Domestic Violence, just revealed to the world how he views and treats women.
Trump's statement gathered a lot of reactions in the Internet but it was Emily Robinson's response that really stood out. Robinson, who was pissed when she heard the Republican candidate's awful words, posted a pube protest online, Scary Mommy learned.
Robinson was angry and felt powerless but instead of going cray-cray, she came up with a genius idea as a sign of her protest after receiving a Trump campaign mailer from her husband. In her Facebook account, she posted a hand-written letter addressed Trump saying that she wasn't able to send her actual private so instead, she included the next best thing to it, which was a few of her cut pubic hairs.
If you think that what Robinson did was shocking, wait until you see the other campaigns against Sexual Assault online. ODDEE listed ten most shocking awareness campaign, which included #BriefMessage campaign, Feminist Message on Sanitary Pads, Feminist Shoots, S--tWalk, Project Unbreakable female and male version, the "I need feminism because...," Stands With Survivors, Surviving in Numbers and 30 Secrets in 30 Days Challenge.
To reiterate, sexual violence among others, is included in Domestic Violence. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence defined such as a willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault and/or other abusive behaviors to maintain power and control over the other.
The campaign against violence is ongoing and the NCADV offers confidential help 24/7, if needed. The hotline is 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY).
