Every time
They talk about
Their newest “project”
Their newest “game”
It’s 30 years back in equality.

Every time
They hi-five
Over who
They’ve “done”
It’s 10 years back in equality.

Every time
They act like
It’s moral
To treat us like meat
It’s 52 years back in equality.

Every time…Every time
We get treated as inferior.
As if they are superior to us.
As if we have to be below them…
It’s 92 years back in equality.

Relax, you're not stupid. You had the guts to ask and I admire that. It's about women's rights and how that is hindered by men making sexual remarks about women. Does this help?

Isn&#039;t it ironic? We ignore the ones who adore us, adore the ones who ignore us, love the ones who hurt us, and hurt the ones that love us.

I'm not too sure I understand this. Call me stupid, but can someone clarify?
