To Be A Woman In America

To Be A Woman In America

means to be scared when you walk down the street

means to have to fight twice as hard to get just as much

means to have to listen to rape jokes and not start an uprising in the middle of class

means to make less than a man for the same work

means to not have control over your reproductive rights

means to get told you were asking for it

means to be misrepresented in media, politics, and society

 

means to still not have "it" quite as bad as other women
