How Do Women Get Dressed in the Morning?

In a world of prudes, sluts and rapists
An outfit is no longer a fashion statement
But an excuse
And a reason
To be harmed

Even knee length skirts
Are a reason
But if you add knee socks to hide your legs
Then it becomes too sexual
You’re a whore

A tank top that shows shoulders is asking for it
It makes your breasts whisper “touch me”
Or
So I’m told
I’ve listened closely
And mine do not speak

If I dress conservative
Then I’m a prude
A stuck up bitch(girl)
Who needs it bad
But is too high and mighty to ask

If I wear a T-shirt and jeans
Then it must only be because
I know it shows my hourglass
Because I want to feel sexy
Not because I find Levi’s comfortable

A mini skirt and low cut blouse
Would make me a slut
With a bad reputation
Something easy to touch at a party
After I have a beer or two
Not a victim of PTSD
Who was just able to look in the mirror this year

They don’t see self confidence
They see
Slut, whore, loose woman
Printed on the fabric of everything in my closet

Nun outfit
Nurse
Maid
School Girl
Don’t bother picking a costume at Halloween
If your clothes aren’t good enough
During the rest of the year
Then Halloween must be a conspiracy

Don’t wear your hair in pigtails
It’s too sexual
They’ll call them ‘handle bars’
Don’t wear a ponytail
They’ll just use it to grab you
Don’t leave your hair down
It means you’re flirty
And gives them something to run their fingers through

It doesn’t matter what you wear anymore
But they like to tell you it does
It makes them feel better to have an excuse
To say you picked the outfit

Wear a business suit
Or go naked
It’s your fault either way

They have to say something
To get off the hook,
To let them sleep tonight
