Leftist media are trying to convince you that women are so distraught over Donald Trump’s election, that they’re cutting their hair really short or coloring it really black in a displaced attempt to reclaim power over their own bodies – or something.

Do you believe it?

In New York Magazine, they published a dramatic article with anecdotes from traumatized women doing whatever they could (well, within socially acceptable norms, I suppose) to make themselves look different.

“I cried for three days,” Atlanta native Julianna Evans, 45, recalls. “I felt like it was the worst thing, politically, that ever happened in my lifetime. It was catastrophic.” By Friday she noticed grays growing in, so she put on her big-girl panties and dragged herself to the drugstore. “Literally without thinking, I grabbed the Natural Black box by Garnier,” she says. “I was like, f** it! The election deadened my soul. I think I wanted to do something defiant to feel stronger.”

In Washington, they described it as “Melania Trump,” but in the “opposite direction.”

Over at Georgetown Salon & Spa, one of the most exclusive salons in D.C., much-sought-after colorist and stylist Mariangela Moore has witnessed this “take control” movement daily for the past month. “One of my clients said, ‘Think of Melania Trump and go in the opposite direction,’” she says. “She said, ‘I don’t want to be that person people see as sexual, I want to be seen as strong.’” Another professional woman cut her hair into a flattop. One client got rid of the blonde highlights she maintained forever, “because she said she never wants to be seen as cheap. I don’t know where that idea came from, but maybe that’s what she’s hearing.” A move away from the look of political parrot Kellyanne Conway, perhaps. In the comfort of Moore’s salon chair, D.C. women are expressing their anger and frustration, and taking a stand with their hair: Many have gone dark and lopped off length. “I don’t know if it’s that their right to choose could be in jeopardy, or that the glass ceiling is still there, but [since the election], I’m seeing more professional women, from all walks of life, changing the way they look.”

Kristian Henderson works at George Washington University. She said she felt a need to exert her “uniqueness” and “not tie my femininity to the length of my hair.” “The election results felt like an attack on minorities, women, and marginalized people in general. Having long hair was my attempt to fit into society,” she wrote.

They profiled “vegan chef” Mya Zeronis. She’s an “immigrant woman of color and LGBTQ person. She cut her hair off too – “to send a message to the Trump presidency.”

Message received, ladies: You are wholly incapable of dealing with life events. Understood.

But these women aren’t keeping their liberal psycho-emotional flagellating to themselves. They’re passing it on to their children.

Perhaps one of the most heartbreaking articles to come out since the election is a piece containing the essays of 12 women in the same New York Magazine. It describes women in genuine trauma, vomiting, weeping uncontrollably.

In several, these women’s children have been brainwashed by their mothers to such a degree that the children themselves are now experiencing trauma.

They were told (either directly or they overheard it) that Hillary Clinton would win, that it would literally be the end of the world if Donald Trump won. They sent their kids to bed assured of this black-or-white scenario and woke them up to the apocalypse.

“I have two daughters, 9 and 11. I believe they experienced unprecedented trauma last night,” Natalie Singer-Velush writes. “I’m asking myself if I’m in any way at fault for that.”

Do you think, Natalie? When you scream and wail within earshot about moving to Canada after the Trump election?

“And my poor son — he’s 11 years old, and I’ve been very careful to raise him to respect others, to stand up to bullies, to embrace differences,” wrote Colette Sartor. “Last night, after it was clear Trump was going to win, he climbed in bed and cried. He was terrified of what the world would look like in the morning. He was scared about how the Trump supporters at his school were going to treat him. “They’re going to make fun of me, Mom,” he said. “They’re going to be awful.”

Aimee Phan, who admits to living in the (liberal) “Berkeley Bubble,” wrote that her daughter spoke of playground banter: If Donald Trump won, “Same-sex parents would have to divorce, Muslim and Latino students would be deported, etc. We kept telling the kids it wasn’t going to happen, that we were going to have the first woman president, and isn’t it so wonderful that in their lifetimes they had a black and a woman president?”

Is that what you told them? You didn’t explain to them that this is an election? You didn’t tell them that we have a system of laws and processes in this country? That there was a chance the “other guy” would win and that it probably wouldn’t be the end of the world?

I sent my kids to bed election night with an understanding of the election process and how it works. The people will decide and America will move forward – like it always did.

My daughter was all about Hillary (she’s six, so it’s all “girl power” for her). I didn’t discourage her, I didn’t go into a rambling litany of how awful Hillary was or force her to put a “Make America Great Again” bumper sticker on her bunk bed.

She woke up, asked who the new president was, looked sad for a bit and asked what they were having for lunch that day at school. Her psyche is not determined by the presidential election.

My 11-year-old knows my political ideology, but I don’t shove it down his throat. He understood that this country is bigger and stronger than any one person – even Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. I honestly thought Hillary would win, so I explained that this is a big, awesome country and he will be one of the people to help make it better in the future – no matter who won.

I would say that it is borderline child abuse to get your kids so emotionally wrapped up in a presidential election that they literally think their world is ending.

Whatever the result was – be happy, or sad. Whatever. Cut your hair, dummy. But leave your kids out of it.
