I am not (just) a woman.

I am a person.
I am a human being. 
I have thoughts
Abilities
Values
Talents
Skills
Rights.

I am so much more than a rating from 1-10
I am so much more than a number on a scale, or a size on a clothing label.
I am so much more than the latest trend.
I am more than a thigh gap.
Puckered lips
Perfect hips
I am not this.

I am complete.
I don't need anyone to tell me i'm pretty.
I don't need your sympathy
Your backhanded compliments
Sealed tightly with a hidden dose of your arbitrary standards of beauty.
I don't need you to define me.
I don't need for you to fight for me
Or against me
Just so you can re-affirm your fragile masculinity.
I want you to stand with me.
In solidarity.

I am not weak.
I am not a little girl.
I am a woman.
no.
I am not just a woman, I am a human.
I am not just a substitute when no one else will fill in.
I don't need a knight in shining armor to sweep me off my feet.
I'm already flying on my own!
If you want to...you can fly with me.
