Boys Will Be Boys
Programmed in their minds at an early age
To be mean in their teens
Play ball with their dads
And hit up girls with every chance they have
Or play games online
Then be destined to make them
Mix their mother’s shampoo
Then end up in a lab
Of course, what happens to the others?
Oh, I don’t know, ask their disappointed mothers
Dresses And Lipstick Put On At 12
The girls cover up and are still thrown down a well
They can join the swim or tennis team
But they’ll still be sexualized by all the men happily
Growing older and hiding their bodies
Then being bullied by their sisters
Become a nice housewife, and have domestic success
Have a small waist and a pretty face
Become a model or singer, and paint on a smile
Where are the tomboys and STEM based women?
Wipe off some of that makeup and see
Where are the rest of us?!
Being in-between isn’t a choice for them, unfortunately
And the ones outside might seem free
But you’re looking through a window
And can’t see their leash
