I’ve been catcalled in sweatpants 

basketball shorts

and my graduation gown

The first time I was called a bitch 

was in weights class freshman year

The first time I was a slut 

was in a sweater on Christmas 

I’ve been followed home in a yellow tank top 

and a volleyball uniform 

I’ve been ignored in both 

a suit and a dress 

So 

someone 

please tell me

what exactly I should have worn.
