For Every Time

Every time a women makes 87 cents

A man makes a dollar

For every time a woman gets spoken down on

A man is the speaker

For every time a woman gets called weak

A man is weaker

For every time a woman gives a life

A man gets to live

For every time a women's shirt is pulled down

A man without consent pulls it up

For every time a woman persists

A man is who she is persisting to

For every time a woman has her rights taken away

A man gets more

For every time a woman wants to shed a tear

The man is the tearer

For every time a woman is told she is not important

A man becomes more important

For every time a woman is body shamed

A man is the shamer

For every time a woman is told she is not smart

A man who told her is dumb

For every 87 cents a women makes

A man makes a dollar

 

I know this isn't true for every man and a woman can body shame or be rude so don't take offense!!  But also know that many women experience this even if you don't see it
