We do not describe our bodies as
"Medium rare"
or "Well done"
or "Juicy and tender"
No, that would be
What's the word
Weird
So why is it not
Weird
For people to whistle at us
Like we're animals
They're going to order from McDonalds later?
For people to look at us
Like we're slabs of meat
Hanging from the ceiling a butcher's shop?
For people to pick us up
Like a good bargain
And feel that they are owed our bodies?
Is that normal?
No.
That's weird.
That shouldn't happen.
