Woman

Men have such high expectations for them.
Always have to meet the beauty standards
Always have to watch their back.
Women are powerful

Men have such high expectations for them.
Stand up tall. Don't be dramatic. Do not be sensitive.
Always cook for the man.
Do not disrespect what a man says.

Always have to meet the beauty standards.
You're too pretty, take off some make-up. You're ugly put on make-up.
You are too fat, wear something baggy. Oh my god do you wanna look homeless.
You're too skinny, eat some food. You're too fat, stop eating so much food.

Always have to watch their back.
Always be listening for anything and everything.
You don't know who's out there.
Never show skin that's what they blame you for,
Never go alone, that's when they take you.

Women are powerful.
Women know how to fight back
Women always have an escape plan.
Women take care of themselves and men when they are both sick.

Women should be free.
Women should not have to worry about what a man is going to say,
Women should not have to worry on how their body looks,
Women should be able to be free and roam the streets without being scared.

Women should be free.
