Because I'm a woman I have to cross my legs when I sit
Because I'm a woman I have to stick by my boyfriend
Because I'm a woman I have to keep my mouth shut
Because I'm a woman I have to fear **** shaming
Because I'm a woman I have to keep mace on me
Because I'm a woman I have to look behind me as I walk
Because I'm a woman I have to protect myself or it's my fault
