To Our Society

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.)
