Snowflakes. Snowflakes Everywhere.
I am often surprised by the things that people do simply to be accepted by society. People will go to many great lengths in order to protect their "oh so precious" reputation. There are so many people in the world today that are against Donald Trump, particularly people who hold a high position in society such as actors, singers, and fashion designers. The fashion designer, Sophie Theallet, refused to make dresses for Ivanka Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. Normally, the dress that the first lady wears on the Inauguration Day is put into the National Museum of American History. One thing about this situation that confuses me is that this has never been an issue. No fashion designer has refused to make a dress for the first lady. So why is it such a controversial issue now when it was never a real issue until now? I am sure that there have been people inducted into office who were worse than Donald Trump. Did Sophia Theallet refuse to make a dress for Melania because she thought it would ruin her career? Did she not want people to see her as someone who "associates herself with the Trump family"? The mindset of people today seems to be "Oh I Can't Show My True Colors Or People Will Know The Real Me" or "If People Do Not Like Me Then I Will Not Be Able To Live With Myself". The people in the world who think like that need to hurry and wake up and realize that not everyone is going to like them or the things they choose to do.
Sure, people have a right to have their own opinion, whatever it may be. But if a fashion designer refuses to make a dress for someone, what if another fashion designer who makes clothes strictly for men or strictly for women refuses to make clothes for the opposite gender? What if a woman walks into a shop that makes men's suits only and asks the designer to make her a dress and the designer says no? That woman could, and probably would, sue that man and his whole company for not making her a dress. She would probably say something along the lines of, "It's because I'm a woman, isn't it?". The level of snowflake-ness and extreme pettiness that currently exists in the world makes me want to punch a wall because it frustrates me so much. Oh, I'm sorry were you offended because that person walked by with a Donald Duck shirt on and Trump's first name is Donald? Here's a puppy to make you feel better. Would it make you feel better if I were to stand here and pat your back while I call you a snowflake? Yes, someone might not like Donald Trump or his family and not want anything to do with them. I do not particularly like the man, but that does not mean that I would not make a dress for his wife.
