Male gaze

Who taught you how to male gaze?

On a day so hot it could cook an egg...

Was it your father

That told you my legs were ****** fodder?

Or was it your mother

Who said my **** are wild and for someone other than a toddler

Now while I'm proud to a woman

I also walk this earth as human

And your eyes make me despise

Every curve of my thighs

As much as I'm beautiful

My mind is also useful

 

Who taught you to male gaze

On hot New York days?
