Madison Witham was having a pretty great day. The 16-year-old had just found her prom dress and was excited to show it to her date.
Then his ugly response made her dump him on the spot.
Sharing the text exchange on Twitter on Sunday, Maddie told followers: “so today I bought a prom dress and dropped a dude, eventful day!”
Yep, far more eventful a day than ours…
The US teen blocked out her former suitor’s name (showing far more respect than he showed her), so we’ll just call him D-bag. (She also hid her dress to keep it a surprise for the big night.)
Maddie started the conversation by telling her date that she’d found a dress, to which D-bag begged, “show meee!”
Only as soon as she sent him the dress – which Maddie has also blocked out because she still plans to make a grand entrance at her high school prom – D-bag’s attitude changed.
“Too much skin, get rid of it and I’ll get you a new one b,” he oh-so-helpfully replied.
Maddie responded in a way we hope we would have in this situation at 16: “It’s not too much skin, wtf.”
And then D-bag started waving that red flag he was holding.
“You look like a slut b .. no offence.”
Thankfully, Maddie saw this as a sign that D-bag was, in fact, not worth her time.
“I’ll stick with the dress and get myself a new man, byeee.”
We have a new feminist hero, and her name is Maddie.
Apparently, bum bags are inherently feminist. The Mamamia Out Loud team discuss.

Double check the story. It may turn out to be a bunch of garbage in that the boyfriend did not respond the way she posted.
It appears there are 2 sides to this story. Who would have guessed.
Brilliant response from this girl and we should all be grateful she shared her story.
Not only are there "old-school" people raised with this crummy attitude, there are young guys whose minds have been poisoned too.
This idiot was already showing signs of sexism, possessiveness and prudish
condemnation - I'd say he's a dead-set bully.
Maybe he's a product of his culture but if he's not aware that Australian culture is secular and increasingly feminist - he should be by now.
Let's hope the next female he tries to engage will benefit from this lesson.
I can't believe he told her she looked like a slut, then said "no offence"! No, of course not, why would she be offended by that? SMH.
hes in the US but yeah
She's American which may help explain it.
