Shaved legs

Sweet perfume

Cover-up the blemishes

Eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick

We're women; it's expected.

 

Little dress

Past the knees

Push-up bra underneath

Pearls, diamonds, silver, gold

We're women; it's expected.

 

79 cent pay gap

No paid maternity leave

It's not her right nor her body

It's her fault, she caused this, he's freed

We're women;

              This shouldn't be accepted.
