Why does high school revolve around the opinion of teenage boys
If you say no you’re a “prude”
If you hook up with more than one guy you’re a “disgusting whore”
If you wear cutoff shorts at school don’t let boys go near you
But if you only wear sweatsuits all the time you’re “a slob”
Why do we let boys who have just finished their prepubescent years run their mouth
Sometimes to the point that it could make or break someone’s reputation
Yet the boys don’t face any damage at all
When can we wear short skirts without hearing any murmurous untoward words
When will the day come when we could finally feel sex positive without being shamed for it
Or the day where we won’t be judged for waiting for marriage
But because of the societal hold the patriarchy has
I believe it won’t happen soon
But I hope for the sake of generations to come
That men learn to keep their hands to themselves
To also learn when to keep their opinions quiet
