Shame is what I feel for being a man

Our society abuses women every subtle way it can

We can make her feel inadequate for wanting to have a job

We can justify her rape for being too scared to yell "Stop!"

Why?

She can't have a career, she has to stay home and cook

Fashion magazines tell her how she must look

She's a second class citizen in our "equal society"

Until things change we can never all be free

They say the clothes she wears justified their rude stares

And that seemed to make it alright

They say she asked for it, so they choose to ignore it

Because she didn't put up a good fight

They tell her she's to blame, I feel nothing but shame

And nobody seems to care

It's just another sexist crime, it happens all the time

Because nothing about this world is fair
