I am shocked after last night. Shocked probably isnt the right word. I was hopeful but I knew on some level that America would not let a woman become its leader. I am from one of the swing states that flipped and I want to know what I can do to participate in my everyday life here as a woman. This happened because of men. I am in college and have a lot of women friends. How can I talk to them about this and participate myself?

EDIT: I know the tenents and what I should be doing but how do I bring this up to others? Men have disappointed us again and again but how society is conditioned most women i know bend over backwards for men.

I just feel so unhopeful. Men have never been on our side and I have felt this way since before 2016. I just see excuses being made for them all the time. They can act like babies and have no empathy for anyone else. It is ridiculous. I am done. I am beyond done. I don't know how I'll make it onto the engineering campus and look at all of them today.
