Thank you, men and women on Facebook Thank you, men and women on Twitter Thank you, men and women on every social media For reminding me every time a post about rape comes up that people are ‘asking for it’ That feminists are just making a big deal out of nothing That it’s not the fault of the rapist But of the person who was held down That I should be constantly vigilant While still reminding me that not all guys are like that Thank you, people in my classes Thank you, people on the street Thank you to a majority For telling me that I’m not equal That every time I bring this subject up to accept it So I will be quiet because a woman has talked too long Telling me where my place is Believing I can’t think for myself Thank you, Society (P.S. Change every thank to fuck.)
