Stylistic Choices


Men go shirtless in public space

Their big hairy chest in your face

Why’s there a double standard there

No one should tell you what to wear

 

Christ! It’s a ten-year-old’s bra strap!

Too provocative. Can’t wear that.

Don’t sexualize and don’t stare

No one should tell you what to wear

 

A lady nursing on a bench

She looks up and sees his jaw clench

No need to stress when breasts are bare

No one should tell you what to wear

 

“She is showing too much, that slut,”

He said as he checked out her butt

These judgments are rarely that fair

No one should tell you what to wear
