RAPE CULTURE


“I don’t like being accused
Of being that type of guy”
He said
Ignoring that
We have all been that type of guy
At some time in life
Before someone told us
Don’t pull hair
Don’t push a girl
If you like her
Or if you don’t
Be a gentleman
Then be a gentle man
“These chicks
Just like attacking guys”
He said
Ignorant
Of fearful nightwalks
Acid attack nightmares
The terrible question
“What were you wearing?”
As if clothes were an invitation
To commit any crime
Safe and secure
He grinned
I stood up
And left him
With his rape culture
