YES PERFECTION
It doesn’t really matter if they’re “natural” or not, but yep.
In high school all students had to give a presentation on any topic that they chose and had to present it to a group of older community members: people involved with the school and shit like that.
I worked so fucking hard on my project. I perfected my presentation. I presented it to my class and received a 100/100. When it came time to present it to the panel of community leaders, I dressed up very nice and professional: black slacks, gray button-up shirt that was belted at the waist, and a leather jacket over it all.
I GOT TEN FUCKING POINTS OUT OF ONE HUNDRED DEDUCTED FROM MY FUCKING GRADE BECAUSE ONE OF THE WOMEN IN THE GROUP THOUGHT THAT I WAS DRESSED PROVOCATIVELY. WHAT THE FUCK? I only had one motherfucking button unbuttoned, but because I have large boobs, it was provocative. I can’t even describe how infuriating that experience is to me, because it’s something that wasn’t limited to that one time. People with larger breasts or hips or butts (not me, but still) are constantly singled out in very uncomfortable ways. It’s somehow acceptable to comment on these features. I don’t understand how any decent community leader could think it’s their place to comment on the body of a high school student (especially one completely fucking covered up, not that it’s acceptable to comment on anyone’s body).
Ugh, so many gross feelings from thinking about this.
