Go ahead Sit with your ignorant comfort blanket Of expected Respected And protected Male privilege, And try to tell me we are weak. Try to tell me that the women who climb mountains of misogyny, Beaten down repeatedly, And still stand to scream 'we shall not be silenced' Have not earnt the right to speak. You have no idea, Just what it means to be a woman.

To the man who told me women should be seen and not heard
Go ahead Sit with your ignorant comfort blanket Of expected Respected And protected Male privilege, And try to tell me we are weak. Try to tell me that the women who climb mountains of misogyny, Beaten down repeatedly, And still stand to scream 'we shall not be silenced' Have not earnt the right to speak. You have no idea, Just what it means to be a woman.
