Dear Mr. Trump,

Throughout your campaign you have been recorded saying things that would and have struck a nerve with many of the general populace.
For instance, you have called for a ban on Muslims, because they are predominantly terrorists.
You have called for a wall separating Mexico and the United States, because Mexicans are rapists, murderers, and drug dealers—in fact, most immigrants in general. Most importantly, you seem to be waging a war on women.
We believe your pattern of disrespect and hatred towards the female gender demonstrates your misogyny. For example, you said “women are aesthetically pleasing objects and women have a great act going on to trick men.”
You have also called women “ugly” and “dumb” when they have stood up against you. That’s a perfect example of your misogynistic views towards women.
Women are not objects and they have value beyond their appearance. Your refusal to acknowledge women as complex beings speaks more on your own issues than it does on the issues of women. You have been quoted saying that women will continue to fawn over you because you’re so “rich and powerful.”
Your money may buy you material things, but it will never buy the respect of women or American voters.
You may have the money to run your campaign, but this doesn’t mean that you have the experience to be president.
Time and time again, you have openly and without hesitation attacked the women of America with your ignorant statements and thoughts.
This is not appropriate behavior of a president; it is not even appropriate behavior for anyone.
Your campaign has been running on an underlying fear and hatred in America. It is clear that many Americans respond to a campaign based on love, not corruption and violence.
How are you going to “make America great again” if you treat half the population like they are no more than sexual objects and second class citizens?
What have women done to you to make you feel so threatened by them?
Your desire to control women is clearly indicative of the fear you feel around them.
The disrespectful words you speak are only to make yourself feel better.
When you say that women should be punished for getting abortions, you’re ignoring the unique nature of every woman’s situation as well as their right to choose what they want to do with their bodies.
It’s unjust to punish a woman for choosing to make a decision concerning her own body, especially when she isn’t always the one who even wants the abortion.
Many women get abortions as a result of rape, and in cases of military rape, they often go unreported and pregnancies are only terminated so they can continue serving their country.
But according to you, rape is inevitable when you put men and women together.
This is called victim blaming. Another example of your misogyny.
Your attempts to exercise power over women due to your fear of them are thinly veiled and cannot last much longer.
If it’s power in the hands of others that you fear, then you should be scared. Women are powerful and the more you try to control them, the harder they will fight.
