Wanna hear something awkward? I’m in class wearing a shirt that depicts a WWII era military pin up girl on it and a hat with an American flag patch on it.

The dude sitting next to me is wearing a hat that says “Fuck Trump” on a little pin and a shirt that says “Fuck the Patriarchy” in big bold letters.

Of the two of us, I have been asked to tone down my outfits because it could be considered offensive to others. Weird right? I have been told that my appearance is “intimidating” to some of my classmates and that some student have even asked to not be put into a class with me due 100 percent to “my confidence and intimidating style and tattoos” and that I need to understand “some of these students are introverts and they feel out of place around people like me”.
