Dear Men,
but not "all men"
As a woman
I feel unsafe anytime I leave the house.
I am terrified of the dark,
I am never alone,
I am taught to be polite
Dress nice
And never leave my drink

Women are supposed to
Accept a world where there is victim shaming
Accept a world where our biology is a business

Women are supposed to
Be easy, but not too easy
Cover up but still "look ****"

As a woman,
I have be threatened
I have be abused
I have be taken advantage of
I have worried about my self image

But women are more than their appearances, their disorders, their biology.
Women are powerful, independent, free-thinkers, intelligent.
Women are whatever they want to be.
Women are more than what the media says.
Women are goddesses and any hate thrown their way is just kindling to their fire.
