This is a parody of the parody. Just to be clear; my stance is that rape is awful and horrific. Proven rapists should be castrated and jailed. I cannot support false claims, or claims without proof. I cannot support being told talking to a woman or saying «hi» is the same as rape. That is the intent behind the song. If you can show me proof and point me to the rapist, I’m all for doing everything humanly possible to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
That being said… Make sure you like, share, and subscribe!
Here’s the lyrics: I’ve linked the original tweet below.
Everyone I know can walk to their car late at night on the phone
They can open up the windows when they’re home alone
I’ve never heard of a barroom chaperone
You can wear a miniskirt now matter how many you own
Only weirdos use public transportation after 7 PM
But I’ll respect you if you’re honest in your DMs
You can go to the club just to dance with your friends
And I’ll never bother you, even unattended
But it sure is a scary time for boys, yeah, gentlemen
Even if you aren’t making noise, it’s really tough
When your reputation’s on the line and any woman can
Accuse you at any time
Yeah, it sure is a scary time for guys
can’t speak to any woman without mace sprayed in my eyes
it’s so confusing, she says it’s rape but I was just being nice
It’s so ridiculous I have to think twice
Who cares if your apartment is on the first floor?
Plenty of people wear pajamas when they answer the door
You can excessively drink, I couldn’t care more
I can’t make you feel valid, seen, or deplored
Everyone jogs around with headphones in their ears
You can lie about a rape after 35 years
But it’ll hurt your credibility for faking those tears
And making up a list of improbable fears
Because it sure is a scary time to be a dude
I don’t want your texts in the buff or in the nude
Not every guy is constantly in the in the mood
What gives you the right just to assume?
Yeah, it sure is a scary time for men
A girl you’ve never met can show up claiming victim
And suddenly you’re not allowed to prove you’re innocent
The judge is on the left and you’re sure to get convicted
It’s such a scary time for boys
You’re a man, so you know that you don’t have a choice
They got you by the balls and they stole your voice
They make it political and just to make noise
Original tweet and song:
It's a really scary time for dudes right now. So I wrote a song about it. Go #vote friends! #TheResistance #1Thing @ACLU @WC4SJ #letsmakesomenoise pic.twitter.com/hz7E3xMRqR
