This is such a incredibly truthful, powerful, and moving poem by Rafael Casal, so I wanted to share it with y`all. I apologize for some of the language ahead of time.
Rafael Casal: Sometimes I feel like I'm sitting in the back row of Barbie and Ken 101 a class we are all in, but never seem to learn from. Some general ed requirement for students of American culture, A GE that convinces even the brightest of young women that sex is survival of the thinnest and I'm sick of this education that doesn't serve our best interests. My teacher has no face, she is every Revelon model women have ever chased, her lectures come through magazines in beauty shops and add campaigns, shit.
Just turn on your tv this just in, a skewed perspective for today`s youth, y'all ladies ain`t thin enough, fellas ain`t trim enough, wanna be sexy? Y'all don't go to the gym enough, cut to commercial, common just come tune in to our maintenance team, convince you're ugly then tell you how to fix it with maybeline.
Perpetually started by these dolls marketed in the late 50's named Barbie and Ken, hence the class I'm in
Are you following? Shit didn't end, they keep molding Barbie to fit new trends next maybe they'll have club hoppin' Barbie, with thongs as accessories. Video hoe Barbie, abusive boyfriend sold separately. Under-aged Barbie, Kobe Bryant included or 9/11 victim Barbie and Ken is proud to get recruited.
Problem is all these teachings are woman`s decay and I'm starting to worry cause my girl is up front and she's getting an A, this is where I start getting pissed off okay. When the f**k did it become all about
tucking in the gut, I gotta get the bigger breast , shit I wanna fit a little better in a dress so let me get a little skinny gotta fit into an itty bitty, size slimmer so I living up the chest.
Please teacher, teacher I wanna give my oral presentation cause I have a problem with the class and matter of fact, I have, a fat ass grudge with the whole administration. You're the reason my girl won't eat in front of me in restaurants, the reason that she thinks she's overweight in over ten spots. Less gut less pudge less lunch less real, more looks more love more Barbie appeal?
F**k Barbie and Ken.
My future daughter will never play with them, you're the reason bleeding 15 year old girls arms are slit. You made 12 year olds think skinny was a compliment and now it's too late. I can't write my way through this bathroom door, so I raise my hand in class cause I can't stand it any more. Teacher, teacher your lectures all backwards, you got mothers and daughters forgetting what matters cause above tits, ass, lips, legs, and ugs. The most attractive women are the ones who don't give a f**k, so screw your teachings your lessons and plans and you skewed sick distant relative of the man, your plan for brainwashin' my baby I reject, I'm walkin' out of this class, and I will proudly take, my F.
