Thank you for making me feel
beautiful
Inspired by the politically incorrect poems of Eva Aloezos. As a woman whose body has never been the embodiment of "beautiful" in the U.S., it feels strangely empowering to have someone express their desire for my body. This poem is not to say that women don't face discrimination on account of their gender, but it is to bite back at a taken-for-granted cultural rhetoric that vilifies men, certain masculinities, and expressions of male sexualities.
