So visual Men We sit them in front of TVs Where barbie doll lookalikes Singsong stereotypes In search of the perfect man and family to cater to The little girls watching think this to be fulfillment I change to the news And fake **** read the newest disaster With a splash of celeb gossip after Girls look to mirrors with shame And I pray to love a blind man Turn to politics Where we find women Like four leaf clovers To pick out and scrutinize Dehumanize Objectify She must've shown too much leg again Because there's nothing of her words on the tabloids Now young girls will only know power in their bodies Wearing stolen ******* and a stolen smile Stripping off her self respect with her dress I live in a patriarchal society That plays down feminism like a government scandal I am oppressed I am repressed But this is not a woman problem This is not a feminist problem This is a societal problem

I will never have a daughter
