Misogyny is a friend not able

to get out of her car

from fear of sexual harassment

Misogyny is the eyes

you feel when you’re walking

alone at night

Misogyny is the disregarded ideas

from women speaking out

in the workplace

women applying for jobs

but getting rejected

because they didn’t “look the part”

being whistled at

by people you’ve never met before

on the streets

girls being told that they are too ugly

to ever be raped

the little girls

who are taught to be princesses rather than heroes

the boys

who make it their goal

to turn a girl who loves girls straight

the unwanted pictures

from guys you barely know

Misogyny is an unwanted word

an unwanted kiss

an unwanted touch

an unwanted judgement

Burning Sage.

Tell me again about how global warming isn’t real while you sign the detention slip for the girl you dress coded in the middle of March because it’s been in the 70’s for the last week?

Tell me again how wrong men being in relationships with men is disgusting as you navigate to the lesbian videos on pornhub?

Tell me again about how gay marriage goes against your Christian beliefs as you sneak off to meet your mistress for the third time today, whom you’re leaving your second wife for?

Tell me again why I, and others like me, should have fought harder against my silent attacker, while you laugh off little boys chasing, and hitting little girls, saying Boys will be boys?

Tell me again why my shoulders, and my knees, and my back need to stay covered, while boys get away with cut offs that show their stomachs?

Tell me again why my breastfeeding is disgusting, and why my nipples must be hidden, while you watch hours of porn fantasizing over unnatural breasts, then saunter outside to mow your lawn without a shirt?

Tell me again why you get a say in what happens with my ovaries when you know in the back of your mind you wouldn’t stick around, and would fight tooth and nail not to pay child support if you got me pregnant.
