Women Can’t Win, Eleanor Mihock

Women can’t win By Eleanor Mihock

If she doesn’t have a flat stomach, she is considered fat. If she does have a flat stomach, she is considered sick. If she doesn’t have a big ass and slim waist, she is considered undesirable. If she is a social butterfly, she is considered an attention whore. If she is shy, she is considered weird and awkward. If she is vulnerable with someone, she is considered too naive. If she has her guard up with someone, she is considered too reserved. If she gets straight A’s, she is considered a nerd. If school isn’t her strong suit, people will say she is dumb. If she has had sex, she is considered a whore. If she is a virgin, she is considered a prude. If she sets high standards for relationships, she is too picky. If she lowers her standards in a relationship, she is settling. If she stands up for herself, she is considered a bitch. If she lets things go, she is considered a doormat. If she dresses up for the day, she is trying too hard. If she dresses down, she looks like a slob. If she loves herself, she is considered too intimidating. If she lacks self-love, she is considered draining. If she fights for equal pay, she is considered greedy. If she fights to be in Congress, her winning is considered a long-shot. If she wins the World Soccer Cup, she is still not considered as good as the men. If she wears a skirt, she is asking for it.

If she is simply being herself, she will not be considered enough. If she is a woman, she will never ever win. When will all of this finally change?
