The whole situation made me feel violated, walked over and
ostracized. My group of five people had to leave the prom because I
stuck out, I have long legs and I was wearing a sparkly dress, I didn’t
look like most of the 13-15 year old girls there, I looked like a woman.
And goddamn it, I am so tired of people who abuse their power to make
women feel violated and ashamed because she has an ass, or has breasts,
or has long legs.
This is a message to the women who understand that sometimes, it
doesn’t matter how much you pin a dress, you’re still going to have
cleavage show when you bend over. This is a message to girls built like
me, who can’t find jeans that fit because your ass is just too damn big!
The girls with long legs, who are forced to prove that their dresses
fit the dress code, just because they have more leg showing then most
girls.
