You Are Not Beautiful
You are not beautiful.
You are not tall
You are not thin
You are not blonde
You do not wear
tiny skirts
navel-revealing shirts
or anything sizes zero, one, or even two
You are not submissive
You are not silent
You are not vulnerable
and not weak
not stupid
You do not drink
You do not sleep around
You never go to wild parties
In all,
You are not an emaciated, weak-willed
subservient sex object.
That is the measure of beauty these days.
Is it not?
If so...
My dear,
you are very ugly.
