Double Standards
You made me throw out my high-waters,
And apparently it’s not okay to be a bearded woman.
We established that leggings are not substitutes for pants,
And three-quarter khakis are not for men, they’re for women.
It’s common knowledge that elephant pants will never make a comeback,
No matter how hard they try, it’s not going to happen.
I got rid of all my fanny packs,
Because you said you couldn’t be seen with me wearing all four of them.
I have gladly done all of these things for you.
You said whether these things could or could not happen.
But I’m tired of all the double standards,
Especially when you decided to wear black socks with sandals.
