Far too often does a young boy hear

"You throw like a girl, toughen up kid!"

As if being a girl is something to fear

The moment we are born we are shamed

Cover this, don't say that, be a lady, my dear

As if being a girl is something to fear

Our hair is pulled, our looks are teased

The same routine on the playground, year after year

As if being a girl is something to fear

Degraded and belittled, we are taught to be simple

And that "Boys will be boys" 

Gender equality steadily being destroyed

As if being a girl is something to fear, boys are taught that no, you do not wear pink, and only girls have pearls and sparkles adorning their ears.

As if being a  female is wrong

But when did being a woman become wrong? 

Take a close look at politics, or turn on a rap song

Shake this, wiggle that,

Women only being acknowledged if she has every admirable trait intact

Yet when a woman possesses too much, she is called a cow

No man wants that is what she believes now

And upon all of this misogyny and this abundance of inequality

Women continue to hate each other

Degrade each other

And persuade each other

To disrespect themselves

As if society doesn't already place impossible standards on the social shelves

Women must unite and form boths with each other 

No longer shall our unity be smothered

The women of today lack empowerment

And rather than fighting for it they fight each other for men providing endowment

Being a woman is beautiful, for we walk on five inch pillars

Compassionate, intelligent and creative, yet unity is the missing filler

Women must not fight to earn the respect of society because it is in fact a natural born right.

Women must unite in order to end this internal plight. 

Men and women were created equal is what must be made clear

And make it known that being a woman shouldd not be feared.

If given the change to cause enourmous change I'd say

That I know I can take on the world, so being a woman never scared me anyway.
