So What

So what if my hips sway a little when I walk

So what if my lips have a bit of a pout (its natural)

So what if my eyes mesmerize you

So what if I wear my hair up and it shows off my collarbone and neck

So what if I wear a dress that fits nicely to work

So what if I wear heels that makes my legs and butt look good

So what if I wear a bright red lipstick

So what if my shorts are just a bit too short

So what if I wear a crop top in public

So what if I wear thin straps on a tank top

So what if I have even a bit of skin showing

So what if you call out to me on the streets

 

So what?

 

So what if I'm not a piece of meat

So what if I'm not your sexual toy

So what if I'm sexualized

So what if you think I look fine as hell when you don't even know me

So what if I'm not your baby

So what if I'm not your princess

So what if I'm not your hot stuff

So what if I'm a teenager just trying to get through school

So what if I'm a hard working mom with two kids and a job

So what if I'm a lesbian

So what if I'm a single mom with no time for guys

So what if I get mad when you wolf whistle

 

News flash! This wolf bites.
