So what if girls exceed your expectations? Why do we have to dress 'holy' in skirts that give us limitations? We have chests. We have hips. How long we have to apologize for the features that God gave us? Why are our girls Beat down, held back, So all the men can look greater? Does it make them feel powerful To push her down, sedate her? Does it make them feel powerful To keep their women As second-class citizens? Dress codes: knees covered. Social code: Seen, not heard. Aren't we the reason you're all here? Why do you make her dim her strengths For all the men to shine brighter? If girls have to dress 'holy' Because boys 'can't control themselves', Why not teach the boys to keep their hands where they belong?
