Ten Women by Allyson Darling

Ten Women

Ten women on what their vaginas would say to Donald Trump if trapped in an elevator with him.

1. “Hello, you little orange troll.”

2. “Aren’t you that guy from Home Alone 2?”

3. “I wish you were Michelle.”

4. “I wish you were anyone else, including a giant goldfish.”

5. “By the way, I’ve always been great.”

6. “Hands off my twat.”

7. “The only convenient thing about this situation is that I have to urinate…”

8. “You’re fired.”

9. “You. Will. Never. Get. Your. Hands. On. Me.”

10. “I am the future. I am the past. I am a blooming bounty of power, compassion, and humanity. I am the definition of life. I grab back. I fight back. I meow back. I scream back. I take space back. And I will never, ever, go back.”
