I wanna say that amazing line of Martin Luther KIng Jr.

It will be true not oppressed by the paternalistic words and perspectives of the world.Where if a guy sleeps around he’s a player and us women do so and were called sleezy sluts or whores.......Where a girl isn’t allowed to wear certian things because of the way a man looks at her and says i want that.ME U AND EVERYONE DESERVE RESPECTmay it be in one type of clothing or another.Where I can be looked at in full clothing or barely any and still be seen with pure eye not oh she’s gonna be hard or that’s gonna be easy.Where I can stand at a corner and not have to think about what people might see me as.

“I HAVE A DREAM”
