Saturated with sex stereotypes gender roles
reinforce inferiority Exploiting anatomy,
exploiting sexuality, preying on insecurities
Force fed proper mannerisms, treated different
from the date of birth Raised as men's servants
who should never question their own sense of worth

Conditioning children with anorexic plastic of
'perfect' feminine traits Learning how to hide any
blemishes, meeting standards men create Painting
flesh like painting a picture that subliminally
suggests To equally conditioned men that women are
just there for sex Striving to achieve the super
model image the media project Spending countless
hours enhancing a look instead of self respect
Eating disorders insuring beauty and endangering
health When living life behind a mask you cant
expect to know yourself When women are taught one
way to act and men are taught another The ability
to accept and tolerate is absent from each other
Without understanding or communication the result
too often is Bigotry by ignorance unintended
prejudice Any man that would treat a woman as
property you keep is nothing but an ignorant bigot
that can only see skin deep having a relationship
of inequality, treating a woman as a possession
taking advantage of devotion using emotions as a
weapon violating another's personal rights as if
they never mattered every day that begins with
this conditioning ends with another woman battered
taught how to act, taught how to think taught how
to feel, told by another gender sexist appeal
dehumanizes women molding an image making the body
more important then what the person is taught to
pretend, taught to please taught to conceal, told
that you must surrender sexist appeal demoralizes
men, distoriting their view making the body the
most important part to pursue initiating a chase
that relies on deception hoping persistant efforts
will overcome rejection conditioned by images
lusting for sex haunting men's thoughts of who
they'll bed next taught how to act, taught how to
think taught how to feel, told by another gender
sexist appeal dehumanizes women by abusing
sexuality another person's body shouldn't be
viewed as a trophy taught to pretend, taught to
please taught how to feel, told that you must
surrender sexist appeal demoralizes men,
encouraging rape another persons body is never for
anyone else to take treating a fellow person
without any respect condemning behavior as if the
woman asked for it society's distorted our
judgement with what they suggest why take no for
an answer when no really means yes

Woman's part
we've heard it all so many times before stop
treating women like some trashy cheap whore or a
virgin that must lead to a sterile life a
surrogate mother under the disguise of the word
wife they make the rules but yet they don't play
fair forcing sexual stereotypes that make us all
aware of every single one of our failures in the
eyes of society telling me that I'm not quite what
I'm supposed to be I'm not married with two
children or single with a career I'm not drowning
in some mortagage or living in financial fear I
don't cower as I walk home all alone throughout
the streets I refuse to be treated like a piece of
trumped up meat I turn away from the billboards
that extol the latest fad Of looking like a junkie
in the Calvin Klein ad Now its time to get beyond
all of our rage and pointing fingers To see
through the lies no matter how much it lingers

Man's part
As long as I can remember ive been a victim of
mans lies And in turn ive victimized women through
ignorant naive eyes When overlooking personality
in the person im seeing Then my attraction becomes
the exploitation of another human being In my
heart I know equality but conditioning affects my
brain So without complete understanding oppression
will remain For as enlightened as I may consider
myself I still have much to learn And since
actually achieving equality still is a concern I
must open my mind to the opinions that women would
suggest Because theyre the ones who understand
sexual oppression best As a man im part of the
problem that's something I must accept Unless
through education I can evolve towards a mutual
respect Everyone of us should realize how our
struggle now relates And how as equals we can
destroy what society dictates We can hopefully
find a way to respectfully co-exist And then
eliminate the biggest prejudice that exists

Both together
because this is not about man vs. woman or woman
vs. man but human to human as we struggle to
understand were living life suspiciously believing
there's no one we can trust theyre dividing the
population the system is destroying us profiting
from this division and the line of thinking that's
been bought if equality is ever to exist we have
to unlearn what weve been taught bigotry by
ignorance unintended prejudice
