6. Still the same ol' same ol'

Madona/Whore complex. We are resented both ways. For withholding or for putting out. And guys should be 'nice' to us either way. Being treated decently, as a human 'bean' shouldn't depend on if we are attractive or datable.
Many women I know, who are even a bit chubby, say men look right through them like they don't exist.

I want equal treatment. That's all. I don't want to be labeled a bitch for saying, no. Or a slut for saying, yes. (Gad, that autocorrected to slit---- glad I caught it)
