Because she wears short skirts Has tattoos all over Drinks Smokes Dances in the pub. Because she hangs out With people you call men Hand in hand Eye to eye Oh, that you can’t stand. Because she doesn’t listen Such a rebel Fights, argues, Tells the truth you can’t handle. She isn’t clean, is it? Just because she is doing better than you? This world can’t see a woman grow Thus, labelling her a whore. How does it matter? How many guys she has slept with How many guys she has been with Not your life, hers. Stud, you call a guy who does this. And you call her what? A slut. Slut. Yes. You. Why is there such a negative notion attached to it? But being a stud, you are proud. When will they stop judging? When will you stop judging? All the stares, the comments She is scared. Let her live. Let her breathe. Let her dance and sing. Let her be free. Just let her be. Will you? • I can’t seem to express about the whole #boislockerroom revelation on all over instagram but I wrote this piece some 5 years ago. Still makes a point. Still makes sense. Still, nothing has changed. #boyswillbeboys #speakup #stopobjectifyingwomen #stoplabeling #feminism #feminismo #feminist #poetry #poem #poetsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writersofig #instagood #breakthesilence #itsnotok #metoomovement #metoo #growup #bornoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B_1omNeplYh/?igshid=iz8ztajv0uim

I'm so sick and tired of women being labeled as chocolate. White chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, I don’t give a FUCK. We are beautiful. We are not meant to be entitled like we’re being packaged to your liking on what you’re in the mood for that day. We are beautiful. We are not candy.

Up until today, I have had really no personal experiences with cat calling. My city doesn’t have a lot of foot traffic so I never walk the streets. However today, it happened to me in school. There’s one hallway where an pack of boys hang out; every girl knows this. Therefore, we all avoid it as best we can. Sadly my friend and I were aimlessly wondering at lunch and forgot about the hallway. As soon as we got to the doors, the calls started. Whistling and a comment along the lines of “don’t do drugs”. (I don’t know). But let me just say that I wasn’t wearing anything to provoke these comments. I sported a long sleeved black cardigan, black tights, a skirt and a black T-shirt and my friend a plaid long sleeved button-up and jeans. So now I just feel disgusted and sad and unsafe in my school. I could easily get trapped in that hallway. This is not okay, and I want it to stop for every other girl who doesn’t want to be treated like an object in their high school.
