I cannot wait for the day that a woman becomes more than her body.
If it is hot outside, I as a woman have every right to wear shorts as short as I want to and a tank top as tight and as cropped as I feel comfortable in. If I feel beautiful in a little black dress, I as a woman should not have to worry about wearing it out and having men treat me as though I am not a person. If I want to wear an excessive amount of makeup, I as a woman should not have to expect to be called a "whore" or a "slut" behind my back. I as a woman, have rights. I have rights to my own body. I am lucky enough to live in America, where I can decide who I want to be with and what I want to do and I CAN be powerful. More people need to realise this. I am not defined by the number of boys I have been with just as a male is not classified by how many girls he has been with. I am a woman, equal to men, and equal to any other human being on this planet in every way. I am a woman, and that is not an invitation to be catcalled on the streets or to be degraded by anyone in any manner. I am a woman. I can't believe I even have to state that I deserve equal pay as a man who acquires the same amount of respect in a particular job as I do. I am a woman and if I want to shake my ass on TV or if I want to wear a turtleneck or a baggy t-shirt then I will, and I expect to be treated exactly the same no matter what choices I make, just as a male would. I am a woman regardless of how many men find me "attractive" because my worth in no way shape or form is in any way related to my looks, or my outfit, or what I choose to do whether you aprove of it or not. I am a person. I will make whatever decision in life that I want to make without fear of what others may of to say, because my gender does not decide who I am for me.
I am a human being. And I have the power to do what any other human being can do.
