NO FREEDOM UNTIL WE ARE EQUAL

As a woman, we are taught to be tiny

to have small bodies, to never be imposing

The ideal of our gender are thin and childlike, hairless and dainty

We are defined by our bodies; defined by our control over them

We are taught to obsess over our physicality and to be repulsed by our desires and intelligences

We are taught to walk scared late at night

We cradle our keys between our perfectly manicured fingers, walking gracefully like a baby antelope in a herd of lions

That our virginity defines our character

That I am a frigid bitch if I do not fuck him, 

and a dirty slut if I do
