if you thought girls have it good
You're yelling again
And they said it's alright
You're in a mood
So we'll pack up and move for the night
You can get mad, without being told to calm down
You can be rude, without a consequence, boys will be boys
You can be half-decent, and get a standing ovation
You can be irritated, without being asked about your period
You can be upset, without being called dramatic
You can be accomodated, without working at all
You don't have to be the very best to get your rights
You don't have to be the kindest to be liked
You don't have to lose your dignity to get that praise from work
You don't have to run at top speed just to be laughed at
You don't have to apologise, for just doing your job
You don't have to step down, everytime someone's uncomfortable
You don't have to understand this, because you were born a boy
True. You don't have to. Powerful.
