Misogynist



Misogynist
When I hear men talking their talk about
Us women, I have to say why then are they
trying to become a woman if we are so bad,

I don't quite know how they managed to get
through the day, with out us woman always
on their mind,

And to law in their favor of men,
to beat down women is a big nasty sin,
and if the fault is common to both sexes
as they can hardly deny,

why should the blame not be as well on them?
What makes them think they can boast of the same
thing that in women brings only shame? "
