The election of beauty pageants-lover Donald Trump to the presidency back in 2016 may have seemed like a nightmare to feminists and women's rights activists around the world.
However, the alternative turn of events presented in the new episode of the CBS’s drama series “Good Fight”, where the main character wakes up to find out that 2016 elections were decisively won by Hilary Clinton, showed that there is a number of things that the global feminist movement could indeed be grateful to the US president for. Leaving television fantasies apart, few will doubt that a number of positive developments would never have occurred were it not for Donald Trump. Here are just a few of them:
- One of the largest single-day protests in the US history, Women’s March on Washington, would have never taken place following Donald Trump’s inauguration, as the activists took to streets to express their protest against the incumbent president’s alleged sexism and anti-female statements. Subsequently, it was the agenda behind the march that unified many single voices together and potentially paved the way for the #MeToo movement.
