Teach Your Sons

Mother,

Teach your sons not to stare,

and not your daughters

what to wear.

Teach your sons how to cook,

and not to judge someone,

by their look.

Teach your sons the meaning of whore

and that it’s okay

not to settle a score.

Teach your sons how to touch

and not your daughters

to worry so much.

 

Teach your sons,

that boys will not be boys,

and that if they don’t behave,

you’ll take away their toys.
