Think Again
I see them
With their long wavy hair
Frosted with blonde cause they all really care
How we see them
It's all in the looks
S**** and good girls like you read in the books
But you know that
They're just trying to fit in
Trying not to get judged--now is that a sin?
Cause we do this.
We've done this to them:
Made all of their goals just to marry rich men
It's in fashion--
All the clothes that they wear
Cutouts and crop tops and bows in their hair
And we do this
It has spread 'cross the world
Sexual objects are all of the girls
And the women...
The women aren't free.
We've gotten the vote but there's more we can be
Cause rapists aren't blamed; "She was asking for it,"
But still she was scarred--how does that verdict fit?
We make them wear clothes that show way too much skin,
It's only the fashion; they want to fit in.
They're always paid less
They're always hard-pressed
To grow up, wear makeup, and show off their breasts.
It's great to be kind and hold open a door,
They'll give you a thank-you but don't ask for more
Cause you are the ones who have freedoms galore
And if you want change then it's you who must act
They won't listen to women--I know that's a fact.
It seems disrespect is an unwritten pact.
So men, think again: do we not need a day?
Your freedoms are more--always have been that way.
