Enough Is Enough
The literal and etymological meaning of the word "no" is "not ever" or "not in any degree"
A/N: This is a common occurrence for women on a daily basis.
When My youngest was in middle school a boy approached her and thanked her for wearing the top she had on, because he just nutted in his pants. She never told me this story until a year ago when I went to see her final art exhibit and learned why she began to wear binds a week after (tight bra type tops) and colored her hair dark just so she wouldn't be sexualized because of her appearance. Over 14 years later and she still carries the pain from that unwanted, unwarranted comment of a stupid boy. Believe me, had I known, that boy would have been enlightened, she still won't tell me his name.
They blame it on the make up
blame it on the break up
they blame it on the pain
*
They blame it on the short dress
blame it on a big chest
they blame it on their brain
*
They blame it on the music
and what it's doin' to them
makes him feel he's gone insane
*
They blame it on her sweet smile
blame it on her hair style
there's no good way to explain
*
They stalk you on the subway
they bump you in the hallway
no matter what you say
*
They photograph under your skirt
tug and pull at your shirt
when you try to pull away
*
They stare and make lude comments
about your shape in garments
making black and white feel gray
*
It's time to take control back
maybe kick them in the nutsack
why can't they just behave
