Did I need to prove the kind of girl I am?
As if a category would add to my inferior condition
Did I need to hide how I felt about being left behind?
As if showing emotion would have proven me weak

I had every intention of going on that camping trip
But you said I would slow down everybody
Come to think of it, you never seemed to mind
Manuel's obesity slowing you down

I guess the **** between my legs is more of an impediment
than the blubber belly of your male companion.
Can apply to many situations where societies' indoctrinated misogyny can leak into close relationships.
