We’ve Seen This Kind of Behavior Before and We Won’t Stand For It

You assault our bodies.

You tell us we’re not good enough despite us carrying the world on our backs.

You tells us we’re hot anymore because we’ve just had a baby and we should just bounce back. Why don’t you look like the way you do before the baby?

 

Carrying the world in our wombs, we keep pushing forward.

We have to be good at our jobs but not too good. We can be assertive but not too much, you don’t want to come off bitchy. Some women work just as hard as men or harder and only make 83 cents on the dollar.

You beat us and leave us for young naive girls. A woman of your age knows too much, we’ve seen this behavior before, we won’t stand for it but a young girl will.

We are taught at a young age to watch out for older men, they’re creepy. Most of us have been hit on at the age of 12 or younger, we are taught some men are not safe.

Now you want to force us to have your babies. Why? Because you care so much about children and women? The laws and programs we have say otherwise.

We keep pushing forward because we’ve seen this kind of behavior before and we won’t stand for it.
