Sitting in class today, it was preparation for student teaching,
The professor said to all the young women in the room:
“Do some jumping jacks, or stretches in the morning.
Just to make sure that what you’re wearing is not compromising
When you are moving around and interacting with students.”
But she said nothing to the men.
Why do we put a disclaimer for women to dress
“Appropriately” or in a “non-compromising” manner
And, yet, men are allowed to dress however they please?
Men can be inappropriate or compromising too.
They wear deep-v’s, muscle tee’s or even go shirtless.
But all hell breaks loose when I wear a miniskirt.
There are some young men at my school
Who wear jeans so tight it’s impossible NOT to stare at their junk.
It’s distracting. It’s inappropriate. It compromises me.
But there’s nothing said to them, they’re boys.
            Boys will be boys, right?
They can’t control their thoughts, actions, or body.
So, ladies, dress appropriately so as not to distract them.

Why are women the only one’s guided to cover up
And dress modestly, when men should have to as well?
If they can wear tight, revealing, and ‘compromising’ clothes,
                                So can I.
