Tori Amos: Donald Trump Is ‘Disrespectful to All Women’
Quote:
She did stop short of saying Trump is waging a full-on war on women. “In order for the Republican Party to stop rolling their eyes at us Democrats, we have to use logic and not make sweeping statements,” she said. But Trump, who vowed to punish women who get abortions, among other campaign promises, isn’t alone.
“I’d argue a lot of people out there want to control women through these policies,” Amos offered. “That’s what I think is driving it. These people want to control our being.” The source of that drive? “Fear. The patriarchy has had power for so long, and it’s only recent that it’s been shifting.”

And evidently, aside from having a taste, Tori Amos, my fave, is also a great person.
Quote:
To those voters still on the fence between voting Hillary Clinton vs. Trump, she says: “Keep watching. Keep thinking it through. Keep thinking about what constitutes presidential behavior and how they handle themselves. To become president of the United States, I do believe you should have experience. You can’t just go operate on someone without being a doctor.”
“Everybody needs to be present right now,” Amos continued. “I’m not going to tell another person how to vote. I don’t think that that’s fair. I think what we should all encourage each other to do is before we press send, metaphorically, we need to think about the consequences… really think about the consequences. We have a responsibility to really think about what this could mean.”
