Wearing a Girdle

Years ago when a woman got dressed

And she wanted to look at her best

She succumbed to the hurdle

Of wearing a girdle,

Believing she’d make folks impressed.

 

Its discomfort was seen to be worth

All the effort at hiding her girth

Yet the pain it would render

Meant only one gender

Would suffer, depending on birth.

 

For a man with his gut on display

Wouldn’t care what somebody would say.

Just more proof life’s not equal:

A female physique will

Be judged not by will but by weigh.
