**** culture is being told to change my outfit five times too many because i don't want to attract the wrong man or give men the wrong idea. **** culture is men (and women) thinking they're entitled to my body because parts of me are showing. **** culture is being asked what did i do for a man to **** me. it's being asked if i was too friendly or trusting. **** culture is blaming the victim for being ***** instead of blaming the ******

**** Culture
One two three four How many slaps more? Five six seven eight Are my bruises enough yet? Nine ten eleven Keep it quiet, do not comment Twelve thirteen Does he have to hit me until fifteen? Fourteen fifteen sixteen Keep counting, no one is listening Seventeen Eighteen Violence and abuse, it kept coming Nineteen Twenty Defending myself, standing strongly Keep counting 'til a hundred No one believed what I said Keep counting 'til another hundred Maybe they'll listen when I'm dead
