I am 50 gottdam years old.
MEN have graded my body EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE since I was at least 5yo, when my friend, Paul, looked at me and looked at the other little girl and said, “You’re fat” to me.
Reader, I wasn’t fat. At all. That little girl was just skinnier.

I’ve been told I have “piano legs”, “child bearing hips”, “too much ass”, “cankles”, “mannish shoulders”, and “too muscular biceps.”
I’ve been told I was too short, had a Polish nose, too pale, not pale enough, too fat, too thin, too muscular, not muscular enough...

I’ve been told that my breasts are “too big, too small, just right but tiny”.
Men have told me I’m not attractive, too weird looking, too plain, too exotic, too white, not white enough, my collar bones don’t stick out enough, my lips are too full, my eyes too small.

And then I mention on a #Reddit relationship thread that I’m only physically attracted to y’all men. That’s it. That’s the bar. Must be 6’ or taller. Race, weight, hair color, facial hair, body type...NONE of that matters to me. You just have to be TALL.
And you wanna know why?
And you wanna know why?
I like TALL MEN because I DO NOT FEEL FAT with them.
I’ve had fucking body dysmorphia since I was FIVE because of MEN. Men’s comments. Men’s catcalls. Men’s attitude of fucking entitlement.
FUCK YOU.

And the kicker? At 5’3”, I’ve never been more than a size 14 and that was postpartum. I lost the baby weight.
NEVER FAT.
The “piano legs”? Solid muscle.
The “big ass”? Solid muscle.
I don’t need MEN’S permission to exist. And if that hurts the feelings of short men...
