The Hot Topic


The female body-

Silicone implants,

Cookie-cutter figure,

She would make the best mother,

Looks youthful,

Healthy.

 

Women’s bodies are

Defined as men’s property.

Literally a half-baked man.

A form of entertainment-

Including beer, nut crackers, cars, or rape.

 

Character is based on purity.

If you’re a virgin, you’re prude.

Too much sex, you’re a slut.

Either way there is publicity.

Miley Cyrus and Jessica Simpson believe in purity.

They’re the role models-

Dancing half naked on cars and wrecking balls.

That doesn’t matter though

Because they’re famous and the hot topic.

 

If a woman wants to have sex-

No birth control

Otherwise teen sex cults arise.

Women become sex maniacs.

Men would fall under women’s spell.

 

Moreover women can’t be leaders.

They’re too emotional.

Who would take care of the children?

Too much power turns women into a bitch.

Or if you’re a pretty female leader-

Like Sarah Palin-

Men can continue to enjoy you…

For reasons other than your political ideas.

 

It’s a man’s world.

It takes a woman

To be twice as good at something

Than a man

In order to be seen half as good.
