Misunderstood

When I was a freshman in high school I got detention for too many uniform slips. The dean called my parents and told them I was the "most provocatively dressed girl in the ninth grade". 

It took me many years to admit and understand the logic behind this,
When I thought-
Are we ever safe? My body is my home-- but i don't always feel safe in it. All it takes is one look for a man to make a woman feel uncomfortable in her own skin. go for a stroll down one block in East Oakland and get heckled at till you turn red. Stand in a parking lot minding your own business and a car full of dudes will put it in reverse, cat calling out the window....then call you a bitch when you don't respond. Times like these make me wish i was invisible...

Every girl wants to be herself and feel sexy without these repercussions, but that's not possible.
Dress like a hoe, and people will treat you accordingly.  
I've learned that flaunting your sexuality attracts both good and bad attention, until ultimately the attention becomes overwhelming. I would love to walk around the streets in an outfit from a lady gaga music video...but that just isn't practical --- perverts and predators are literally everywhere. They're even in our families. & if you realized how often they leer at you, or what their hidden intentions were--- you'd scream. 

So I put my coat on and cover up. And I step off the table that I used to hop up on. 
It's really not about dropping it like its hot in public.  
Just because a girl dresses a certain way, or dances a certain way, or has fake boobs or drives around in Daddy's G Wagon - -- doesn't necessarily reflect the degree of how rich she is, how smart she is or how quickly she'll open her legs.

Women should rely more on their brains then their looks to get what they want.
Its okay to be pretty when the world expects us to be smart,
& smart when the world expects us to be pretty.
