*I wouldn’t have this fight today. I was immature and childish. Dress however you want.*
I can’t remember a time when M willingly wore an “appropriate” amount of clothes. There could be snow on the ground and she’d be in knee high boots and a crop top.
As an adult looking back, I respect the subversion of expectations. As her girlfriend, it bugged the fuck out of me. Call me a bad feminist, but I was insecure and didn’t like that she was constantly getting attention.
I fucked up one night.
A guy grabbed her and I had to physically drag her outside to stop her from punching him… Again. Instead of being a supportive girlfriend and friend, I shrugged and mumbled that he was probably “confused.”
She scoffed, got in my face, and looked me up and down. “Say it, Viola. Say the phrase on the tip of your damn tongue.”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“Say I’m asking for it.”
I didn’t respond. She mumbled something about how I was worse than that asshole and didn’t text me for a few days.
