Sexism Is Real: Wrestling Is Not

Closet Monster


I could never say exactly what its like 
to feel the hurt that we create 
I'm male, 
I'm white, 
I'm privileged, 
I'm everything that I've learned to disassociate. 
But I've seen how you treat her 
and I've heard her talk about how it feels 
be prey inside a class society. 
Implied-second rate citizen, 
condemned by her beauty (or lack there of) 
to be alienated and judged at sight. 
Patriarchy's running rampant in our streets. 
A woman is not a coomodity 
to be utilized by you. 
I've seen your eyes and words 
invade her person and strip her bare of the 
qualities that make a person real. 
Her terars told me that she's not a thing. 
It's a matter of respect. 
Her tears showed me that inequality is real 
and not cliche rhetoric.
