Its In the Jeans
I am a fan of jeans
They are a symbol of my free spirited nature
My strength and feminine fearlessness
And my choice to move freely
And my equality with men
But only a man
Could take the empowerment away from my beloved denim
With trashy advertising
And sexually explicit, offensive rap songs
That focus not on the jeans but on how my ass looks in them
However in my disgust
At the degredation
Of the statement of evolutionary change
Made by a woman in jeans
I stay thankful
That at least I don't have to worry about them trying to sneak a peek up my skirt
