During this rant I will not be the little lady that I'm expected to be since the men in this discussion have taken it upon themselves to no longer be gentlemen.

I go to school looking pretty damn fine in high waisted shorts, a crop top and my new white Adidas. Men whistle or shout explicit things like, "I'll eat that booty like groceries" or "fat a** tiny waist". Do you think I was ASKING to get this reaction? No. I really (insert word) wasn't. Men (or the disrespectful kind) have come to think that all "slutty girls" dress like I do to get attention. To catch the male eye and raise his "vampire from the coffin". NO.



When I put on my clothes in the morning, I'm not thinking of the guys I'm going to attract. I'm thinking about how I"m proud enough of my body to show off my gnarly abs and muscular legs. I don't feel like I should have to hide what I've worked hard to get. Most would call me narcissistic but I call myself confident. Just like Demi Lovato singing her new hit "Confident" in a tight body suit showing off that shes proud to be sexy.



Being a female AND bein g proud of your body is a HUGE accomplishment. Most girls hate their bodies and criticize them, calling themselves fat or unproportional. They decide to hide because they are not "perfect". What is "perfect" anyways? Why does is have to be the definition that society gave us? It makes no sense. Imperfection IS beauty ladies. Be happy that you have that Texas shaped birthmark behind your ear. Be proud of your petite, tall, or muscular shape. I used to think that being muscular was ugly. I thought that since supermodels are not, then I shouldn't be. But I've come to realize that my "imperfection" is what makes me different. It's what sets me apart from all the barbie doll wanna be's.

So now maybe some of the men in the world can realize that some girls show off their body not for attention, but because they don't feel like they need to hide in a bag. So please, get a grip and stop with the hoots and holla's, all you ever get is a slap in the face anyways.
