Not. For. You.


That girl you just made derogatory comments to, 

Doesnt want you.

She didn't dress in any way for you. 

Although it probably doesn't shake her,

As young girl she's had heard it too

And she learned to not let it break her.

Instead of you learning not to opress and objectify,

She learned to hide her thighs, her shoulders, and her eyes.  

People like you scared girls into worrying about how they dress.

To find the balance between "slutty" and "prude".

Because if they didn't they'd be too this or that, 

They dressed differently to make sure you knew, 

They. Are. Not. For. You.
