People say
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”
then turn around and critique you based on society’s eyes
Society’s shallow stereotypical sexist staring eyes
But wise people will tell you
“The oppressor can only gain control over the oppressed with the oppressed’ consent”
and leave it at that
Author notes
