I didn’t want to
lay back
in the director’s
chair
I didn’t want to
take off my clothes
to help me get “up there”
I didn’t want to be
just bouncy breasts
on TV
I didn’t want my body
out there
for all to see
So I didn’t take
the money
I didn’t get
the job
not for any other reason
than I wouldn’t
suck his knob

The stigmas attached keep feeding society’s desire to have something to point at and berate. Acceptance not tolerance is key to understanding the human side….sorry, I digress!!😁

The practice of using a position to get women into bed, in my humble opinion, is never justified and never right. No matter how powerful the man is.
