Letter to Melania

Sometimes I forget that there are different shades of white. Melania is one shade. A high class mail-order bride from the Eastern Bloc, where blond haired, blue eyed sex workers cross to the Western world in droves, to be taken in by white men, sick of gender equality, eager to have a trophy wife who they can show off, dominate, control, and possibly beat and rape at their leisure. And these women, knowing where they have come from, knowing the poverty they escaped, will stay silent and submissive, even as Western women implore them to be something more than they can be.

A mail-order bride, a high class sex worker, a grown up kid from an impoverished country, cannot be the kind of First Lady who champions causes, speaks with purpose, blazes trails and carves her name in stone as a woman to be remembered.

It is no wonder she did not want to be First Lady. She knows who she is, what she can be, and what she is not cut out for.

This letter was truly eye-opening, reminding me that some men cannot be happy unless they are dominating women, and so there will always be a market for such women.

I'm really not trying to call Melania a whore. But she comes from a culture where women prostituted themselves in order to carve a place for themselves in the Western world.

So, I will not expect more of her than she can be. She is Trump's trophy wife. Nothing less, and nothing more.
