A War on Men
You really shouldn’t spend so much time outside
No boy wants a girl with bruises covering her thighs.
My poor girl you do not always have to be right
It’s unfair to that poor boy you seem to always fight.
Baby scratch the jeans you would look stunning in a dress
You would have all the boys in school a complete mess.
It is a Friday night put the book down and live a little
No man wants a woman who can’t let loose a little.
Don’t say those words they are unlady-like and atrocious.
You know if you lost a few pounds you would be totally gorgeous
This is what feminism is fighting for.
It is not a war on men
But rather a war on hate
A war on stereotypes
And a war on gender generalizations.
Too Ugly
Too Fat
Too Loud
Too Smart
So what this sounds like to me is
No man wants a woman with ambition
Maybe me always being right makes me feel good
And if he is wrong why should I keep my mouth shut
In school I don’t want the boys to be a mess
I want to learn something and be the best
Men only want a girl who will let loose with THEM
Because God forbid they find out I’m not a virgin
And my words may sound unlady-like but when men catcall me on the street
With a “Damn little mama that ass is astronomical”
Why can’t retaliate with the same crudness?
And these few extra pounds are what make me gorgeous.
So yes I believe in feminism but,
This is not a war on men.
