the world's certain way

There's a certain way the world teaches us what "woman" should act like:

Docile

Innocent

Fragile

Naive

So that we are frail and need of help

So that we will swoon when a man swoops in to save us

But what if man is what we need saving from?

...

There's a certain way the world teaches us what "women" should look like:

Thin

Curvy

Delicate

young

So that our skin remains untouched

So that a man can come and claim us

But what if man is what bruised and tainted and cracked our porcelain skin?

...

There's a certain way the world teaches us what "sex for women" should be like:

Submissive

Obedient

Virgin

Easy

So that we can live up to the expectations

So that a man can finally experience his dream of taking someone's purity

...

But how are we expected to stay

Docile

Innocent

Fragile

Naive

Thin

Curvy

Delicate

Young

Submissive

Obedient

Virgin

Easy

When man has physically forced itself upon woman

When man has physically forced itself into woman

When the word itself has man inside woman

When the prefix wo- already means "wife to"

Telling the future of woman stuck to man

Serving man

Living man

There's a certain way the world teaches us how "womxn" should live:

afraid.
