Hey There, Sweet Stuff
what's your name?
Come a little closer,
let me see that pretty face.
How old are you?
Wanna hook up?
How much do you weigh?
What size is your bra cup?
Do you have Snapchat?
What about Tinder,
or Kik?
If you're looking for a good time,
you're my type of chick.
Where did we go wrong in society
for people to think this is OK?
To treat young girls and women
like they're pieces of meat
on a silver tray?
These are daughters, sisters,
cousins, and mothers.
Would you treat your OWN family this way?
As you do to another?
You need to change your way of thinking,
in fact, the whole world does.
Learn to adjust your way of speaking,
if not for your family, do it because...
Young girls are growing up believing their value is in their face,
when it's really their MINDS that matter,
not the size of their waists.
Constantly sexualized, generalized,
vulgarized, and demoralized,
they're seeing these things through impressionable eyes.
So take a minute,
and think about what you're going to say.
This could be your sister, daughter, or mother being treated this way.
