People always say that the girls of this generation are so vain
Why can’t they put their brains towards books instead of good looks I used to blame girls too, be more than a perfect body with a pretty hair do And then I stepped out into the world I opened my eyes to the truth of being a girl
I heard guys say things like “Dude she was 10x tighter than that girl you hit and quit - Ray” Or “I wanna pipe your sister some day” Or “Her ass looks like a race car track with those stretch marks, but at least it’s big like Kim K’s.”
I never grew up thinking of those things Don’t blame me but when I thought about boys, I thought about dinner dates and soul mates Not fuck boys that look at you like shark bait
It breaks my heart For every girl growing up in this world Instead of “How was your day?” messages we get “You up? Wanna come fuck?” I am not an object I have a voice and something to say
Do not assume that I belong in your bedroom, I belong in a conference room And for anyone who thinks that this generation is so vain It’s because us girls are held under a microscope day to day It’s like beautiful doesn’t exist unless we can cross everything off the checklist Big butt, big boobs, skinny waist, includes small nose, plump lips, bony hips, hairless, careless, but still has awareness In all fairness, I want to be seen as beautiful too
I mean I don't wanna be demeaned I mean I’m not the same girl I was at 15 I mean I’m stuck in between Being a girl and woman Growing up in a world that has taught me to look sexy, get a degree, maybe a little rhinoplasty, but never disagree with misogyny A world that has not taught me that being a woman, Is living in fear that your basic health care will disappear or that your paycheck is somehow several dollars smaller than a man that does the same job or that your boss might tell you to stop giving him blowjob eyes
“If you wanna raise, you better comprise, gotta show me what lies above those thighs”
Boy, please, the moment you misidentified everything was when you forgot that not even 100 years ago, i could not vote look at what happens when you try to demote the very bodies that give birth to you, please. we are used to it all and we are appalled but you see,we don’t know what it’s like to be a free
Equality is not just about calling someone out. Equality is accountability That my brother knows that I am equal to him so equality is education from classrooms to court rooms to conference rooms and computer screens. Is using tech for good, for me too, for movements Equality is truth is strong voices is breaking through the silence that exists because silence can't exist if it's not tolerated is all of you
Changing the future, clearing path For every woman and every man it is raising the next generation to know That not only does their voice matter but it will be heard And that’s why we got the power in our hands we will not sit back and nod and smile while certain people reconcile the rules to being fertile Sorry, but it’s my body baby
I may be a young lady But my dad always taught me to speak out and fight, against injustice of every kind So here I am speaking out for all my ladies in the house We will not stop the fight into we hold our rights For women of every color, size, shape, sexual identity, and place in this world
