Stop
Thinking that
It's your right
To use women as
Part of your own personal
Decorating scheme; as your arm candy
Stop thinking that it's your right to
Treat women like we are placed on Earth
Only for your personal desires, your very own slave
To be there when you want us and gone when
You tire of us; we are only here for your whims
Stop thinking that it's your right to believe that women are lesser
That our first duty is to be pleasing to your eye
That we are less intelligent, that our aspirations mean less
That we are in the world to serve men
That we should look as you tell us
That we should act as you dictate
If you say jump, we should say
How high do you wish?
That we should serve
On our knees
No more
Stop
