Why can’t you allow her to speak without shutting her up, or insulting her intelligence?
Why can’t she speak her mind without you labelling her disrespectful?
Why do you have to doubt her abilities and skills?
Why do you belittle her?
What makes you think you are better than her just by virtue of you being a man?
What can you do that she can’t?
Cause I can tell you what she can do that you can’t?
Why does she need permission to talk and to be heard?
Why can’t she wear what she wants without you judging her?
Why can’t she walk the streets freely without being hassled or catcalled?
Why can’t she wear that mini without being sexually harassed or raped?
Why can’t she dress sexily without being called a slut or tramp?
Why is it that when she gets raped, she asked for it by the way she was dressed?
Why is it that when her partner beats her up, you ask what did she do to him?
Why do you have to tell her that her place is in the kitchen?
That she can never be anything more than your sex slave, maid and baby factory?
Why do you define what she has to be?
Can’t she be herself without you having to say something about it?
Why does she have to prove herself to be worthy of your acceptance?
Why do you want to clip her wings and deter her potential with harmful traditions, sick norms and restrictive culture?
Why limit her possibilities?
Is it because she is a woman?
Why?
Will you answer her?
She gives you life, yet you rejoice in taking hers.
Please answer her.
So that she can understand.
