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 s**ist crime, it happens all the time
Because nothing about this world is fair
