18 Y/O Student Creates Powerful Photo Series Using Trump’s Quotes About Women (NSFW)
Aria Watson, a 18-year-old student from Oregon, never cared about politics, but this year was different. “When Trump beat Clinton, my heart shattered,” – she said. She couldn’t remain silent anymore and decided to “help people realize who Donald Trump really is.”
Her photo sieries titled “#SignedByTrump” features Trump’s quotes about women. “I know most people are set on their opinions about Trump, but I just hope one person sees ‘#SignedByTrump’ and it opens their eyes,” – she told Buzzfeed.
The project was created for her final project in her Introduction to Photography class at Clatsop Community College in Oregon. When she posted these pics on Facebook and Instagram, they got removed. Later, she decided to post them on Tumblr and they went viral generating 50,000 notes in a day.

Share on FacebookThe nudity is a choice. A woman's choice. Bodies are works of art, and not inherently sexual. Men like Trump make them sexual. He and other turn women's bodies into object, and possessions to be owned and controlled. If you are more offended by the nudity then the words written on these bodies, then you are a misogynist.
You shouldn't be offended by either. Words are just words, they don't turn people into anything unless per their own choice.

Trump will never be a 10 in anything... no matter how hard he tries.
That's not true. He can be a 10 in IQ.... :D ..on a good day

I salute this women and I say thank you to Bored Panda for allowing this to be seen. If it is too uncomfortable, don't look at it. If you are not politically minded, keep scrolling. No one is forcing you to look or to read. Aria Watson - keep walking your road, it is your road not anyone else. Your photography is powerful, your message is awesome. You are a strong women.

That doesn't make trump's quotes any less outrageous.
Load More Replies...Dear Hrabē Lomikar, I just went through a self-defence course. Everything to do with our body is our choice. Women should not let men use their body as an object. Our bodies are a part of who we are, we can't change just because one man wants us to have big breasts. I agree with Diana Toler, our bodies ARE NOT to use they are actual living parts of us. Sex has our consent, if you don't want to, you don't have to. It is none of their business what our bodies look like, it is our body and they legally can't do anything to us without our consent.
Keep up the work? Are you encouraging young women to upload nudes of themselves online?

That's it I'm reloading this page in chrome I want to see cute little kittens instead
Totally random info: I am 5 foot 3 inch tall woman. My hand is 8 inches. Your hand from tip of thumb to tip of smallest finger is the same length as from your inner elbow to your wrist. ( try it ) Sooo does Trump also have really short arms? and Is this because he is actually a T.Rex in disguise ? sorry no offense meant to real T. Rexes.
Could a moderator please take my comment out ? Picking on someone's physical body is just not right. He cannot help the way he was born. My comment is low, and irrelevant. I need to rise above, not sink to his level. Sorry everyone ,
Load More Replies...While I can agree with what has been shown. I also need to stress this behavior has been in our own family line. Ignornance, shame, hatred, pity, what ever is the motivator. We all have in our blood line. Calling any man or woman ugly names doesn't address the issue. It's how we view our ownself. If someone can unravel us from our own happiness. Then one must address how did they "push" our buttons (emotions). I'm doing my own self-healing. Inner joy always triumphs over any self-hate. Wishing one well is always best.
If President - elect Trump were the only man to ever speak about women this way ,maybe i could understand all this so called 'outrage'. Where is the admiration for his campaign manager Ms. Conway? The first woman to ever run a successful presidential campaign? If all you look for is the bad in people , that's all you will ever find.
This woman was trying to get a point across. The sexist things said by anyone should be ridiculed by their victims. Suddenly she's a whore??
If this 18 year old girl chooses to allow something that was said to someone else cause her mental anguish then she has the right to protest peacefully, the fact that I disagree is my right as well and I think she could use her time and energy in a better way. Stop melting snowflake...you will survive
People shouting "but Hillary said....." are completely missing the point. The face of the matter is that the leader of the free world has made his position clear on the treatment of woman. They are objects, dolls for him to play with and admire as he sees fit. Nothing more. Not people, but a commodity. Hillary wasn't any better of a candidate. They both sucked and if you'd all quit your damn pissing contest you'd see it. Quit voting based on who's the Democrat or Republican and vote based on who can competently lead the country. I can't count how many times I talked politics with either side and found that I was speaking to someone who knew nothing about the platform of their chosen candidate other than their political party. Democrats and Republicans will continue to share equal responsibility as our nation gradually crumbles but you certainly can't tell them that.
Oh, so you support a racist, sexist, homophobic, creep who says he grabs women by the V@GINA.
Load More Replies...In regards to your #signedbytrump story. It might be interesting to find that other artists have done much the same project as well in response to the trump win without resorting to nudity to scandalize and generate clicks. For instance, this film series about all of the marginalized groups that fear for a trump regime: http://steffenfrancisco.com/less-than/
Obviously the kind of women Trump treat with, are women trying to get famous in anyway. What if we start to teach people how to respect themselves? If you give something to someone, and if it likes to that person, he will accept the offer. How you can respect someone doesn't want respect (men or women)? That easy.
Was Trump really said all of those words? That was just plain cruel ><
What an absolutely horrible man. What an absolutely horrible territory to have chosen him. It certainly no longer deserves to be considered a 'nation', given what they've chosen to represent them and how divided they are about it.
Who represents your good territory? It is good to hear that your territory is so well represented the whole nation agrees and is happy!!
Load More Replies...I am afraid that the status of women in the USA, always a second class status, is degrading at high speed! I respect this attempt to raise awareness about public misogyny in America.
i once was grab by the p*** by a lesbian , not a guy but a lesbian, and i was sock . i glad women of now a days are talking louder i once was told that i cant do a thing that i want to do and i was not a guy whom told me that, it was my aunt , and i was so angry but when i grow up i understand why she told me that, and it was that my grandfather educated her with the idea that men can do some things and women cant do those things , that she had a place in this life because she was a woman and that involve that she was not suppose to do or said certain things because in the end she was just that a "woman" . people that said how women vote for trump after he said such horrible thing . well those women grow and since childhood they being told that they are just women and they restrain to do said or think otherwise. and is women the ones that educated children both boys and girls that way. sorry bad grammar English is not my first language.
Good point. Women DO usually raise the children and are at the heart of their beliefs.
Load More Replies...Those degrading words are like scars on young women's skin. From the abuses made by those who legitimise Trump's words.
Hmm. Perhaps a photo series of rape victims with Hillary's statements including, "Trailer trash", "Bimbos" and "We have to destroy her story." Thanks for the idea!
It's amazing how the men still don't get it... If you need this explained to you, then you are not worth the trouble of explaining...
I come to bored panda to get away from this political bullsh I t. Shame on you bored panda. Besides, Hillary is worse. She's a rape enabler. Could you imagine the backlash if a republican candidate had as many women accuse him of rape and sexual assault has Bill Clinton as had? There would be an uproar. But because he's a dimocrat, he and crooked Hillary get a free pass. She also defended a scumbag who raped a 12 year old child successfully back in her lawyering days. Hillary then called the 12 year olds character into question and laughed at her. All caught on tape and verified. Crooked Hillary even used tactics that are no considered illegal to get the scum off. So all you worthless libs need to get yourselves educated about crooked Hillary. Shame on ALL of you. ALL OF YOU.
So your point is that Hillary's actions make Trump innocent and above criticism? Really?
Load More Replies...To the Trump trolls stopping by: The election is over, so you cannot blame anything on Hillary anymore, she is done. All the actions and words of your guy need to be defended on merit. And you can't as the guy is a corrupt fascist dishonest bigoted narcissistic miserable excuse of a human being, let alone president (elect). You need to look into the mirror and accept you're just like him, and worthy of the scorn and derision of all decent and well-thinking people.
Nice way to boost your self esteem and discredit 50million voters as "being exactly like that miserable excuse of a human being".
Load More Replies...So Trump is a misogynist, what else is new? I've got news for you; history is filled with wonderful, visionary world leaders, political, scientific and spiritual, who were womanizing playboys or hard partiers, or racists. Generally, humans with flaws who also chose to be in the public eye. However, when people ignore these behaviors or write them off as a part of life, they allow said behaviors to become a part of the social norm. I applaud this young woman for using her art to make a social commentary and urge her to continue the series in a thoughtful way. Look beyond her personal feelings and do a similar critique on some of the negatives of Mrs. Clinton. Do a photo essay about the good sides of Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton. Go beyond and do a compare-contrast on others in the public eye. Art is subjective, not everyone sees with the same eye, however, this project is successful because it has us talking about an uncomfortable topic. Maybe some of you think it is fine for politicians to objectify women, maybe others do not see Trump's comments as objectification. Maybe some of you feel the photos are objectifying women while others find them beautiful. You are all right,
