Really though?

So awhile back, I was watching E!News and they did a glowing piece on Selena Gomez. Apparently Disney’s new darling was working with a program promoting voter registration for young adults at a mall. Sounds great, right? I thought so too. Until they asked her if she would ever consider running for president. Her answer was “I don’t know if i could be a woman president, I’m kind of emotional. but i think it’d be fun to be a first lady.”

I know that she didn’t say that no woman could be president but It’s still heartbreaking to see a girl who is adored by millions of young girls can say something that pushes the women’s movement way back.

This is the kind of behavior I would expect from Brooke Hogan but I had higher expectations for Selena.
