You say that muscles

On a girl

Are disgusting

All i hear is this

A woman who shows her strength is something that scares you

 

You are afraid

Because you know you have reason to fear

A woman strong enough to stand up for herself?

You cannot have this

Yesterday you wolf whistled at a jogger

Today she is the wolf

Strong enough to pay you back

 

A woman who has muscles

Does not play by your rules

She will not crumble for you

She wears her strength as obvious as a billboard sign

She will not smile politely at your catcalls

She will not cross her legs tightly on the subway

To make more room for you and your ego

 

Yesterday you wolf whistled at a jogger

Today she is the wolf
