-check her out, she's a nine for sure

-no, no, no, she's a seven at best

-and that chick next to her is a four at best

we live in a society that values above all
something as simple as what you’re born with
a pleasant face and 
a body shaped by years of self-loathing
and body parts cut out of glossy magazines 

self-loathing taught to us
to hate what we see in the mirror
by the same system that taught them
to break women down to their looks
and rate those looks

just because you see beauty 
does not mean that beauty lies within

it is worth far more to be resilient
not because you are not beautiful
but because you need to know
you are worth more than a rating they give you

because you are you
and that's beautiful 
100 theme challenge 
40- rates

No more women against women breaking down, from now on we build up other women. That goes for men too. 
We are more than the sum of our parts.

Love you all :heart:

There's this sports bar near my house where all the waitresses are showing 50% of their breasts in their uniforms. I absolutely hate going there, because the mere concept disgusts me. As a man, I'm supposed to go "hur hur, boobies" and ogle my waitress like a pole dancer? On that note, it also infuriates me that male sports fans are stereotyped as only caring about female athletes for their bodies. Sadly, I understand WHY the stereotype exists, but places like the sports bar I mentioned only serve to make it look like all male sports fans don't have much of a thought process towards women beyond "hur hur, boobies". 

Sorry for that little soapbox session. It's just what came to my mind upon reading your poem. :(
