The Culture of Women (controlled by men)


      We are taught from birth 

as women that we are a distraction.

That one should cover her assests 

in order to fit into a box constructed by men.

Through out  the years society has made male domanace and obedience

a staple in everyday life. 

Women are taught that their body is vulgur,

that they need to reduce men's distractions 

by hiding general features that woman have always had.

One sholder here and there along with shorts that rise above your fingers 

lables you an unworthy slut
