Do you think i look pretty
Just for your attention?
Sorry but if you threaten me,
My skirt should not be mentioned
We are both human and I
Don't wolf-whistle at your ****;
I have some decency and won't
Catcall as you walk past
Whatever I wear is solely
For me and not for you,
I don't deserve attack or
****, or any kind of abuse
If I want to show my legs,
Then that is just fine
And if I like this dress, your
Assault shouldn't cross my mind
Even if I walked naked,
I wouldn't be asking for it
Besides I was always told:
"If you've got it flaunt it!"
Why should I take steps to
Repel you and protect myself,
When the real question is
Why can't you control yourself?

this is a very personal issue to me, I'm sick of women having to consider the likelihood of assault when getting dressed, or going out, or walking home alone, and I'm sick of these assaults then being blamed on the victim.
