Real men don’t ****?
Was it a ghost,
Or the clothes she chose to wear?
Because it was warm,
And she thought it would be safe to wear some shorts?

Was it the hijab you couldn’t resist?
The jeans that showed just a little ankle?
He sandals?
The sundress with the floppy big hat?

You are supposed to be who we look up to,
But instead, we look away, covering as much of our skin as we can,
Because we feel like if we flaunt,
We’ll be next.

I just want to wear shorts to school
Without my male teacher telling me that he can see too much.
That my shoulders are too distracting.

Maybe he should bring that up with his wife,
If he can’t do anything better with his life.

Real men don’t ****?
Then you all must be fake.
