lyrics

DRESS WITHOUT FEAR

It scares me how males see women.
And it's socialised from birth.
It's a dangerous world, I know,
That bigs up males from birth.

Big guns, building toys,
Boys, you own the world.
And girls are told to smile,
Be pretty and don't walk alone.

Gender-based harassment
And symptoms of patriarchy
Are unacceptable and harmful.
And it doesn't even make sense.

No one is 'asking for it'.
We should be able to dress without fear.
And 'no' is always 'no'.
But they never taught consent in school.

We need to tell people not to rape,
Not tell people how to dress.
It's not the victim's fault. Repeat.
It can never be the victim's fault!

You can't say 'Misogyny is dead,'
If you've never been female.
And you can't say 'We're all equal,'
If you've never been oppressed.

We need to be critical of our
Socialised language and actions.
We do stuff, we're not even aware,
But that doesn't mean it's not harmful.
