for every dollar a man earns a woman earns 21 cents less.

They tell us to stop making a mess
When we recognize the problem and protest

The gender wage gap is a myth?
Show me my 79 cents.
Show me your 100.

How many women have to be raped or harassed and abused
For schools to teach kids to shun the accused.

Feminism is a cancer?
Then what is it killing?
Inequality? The wage gap? Saying yes to sex even if unwilling?

The goal is not to bring men down
It is to allow the women to wear the crown too.

What about that sounds like outrage?
Perhaps you're just scared
of sharing the stage.
