Escaping rapeugees

Janet Kuypers
1/12/16

I was hoping
the world for women
was turning the corner,

that the world
may finally have evolved
to respect us women.

How silly of me.

Remember girls,
hold your own
out alone at night,

and don’t assume
if men give you drinks
it’s just because

they’re nice.
Some men are good,
I know it’s true,

but that doesn’t mean
the battle is over
and you can feel safe.

Watch your back,
walk fast, check
over your shoulder.

You still work
harder for less
pay than men,

and the men
probably still
expect you to cook

and clean for them,
birth and raise
their babies too.

‘Cause that’s your job,
to do everything — and
don’t forget to smile.

I mean, if you think
you’re in the clear
and have nothing to fear,

you can be raped
by people you trust
as well as strangers...

Because keep in mind
that Europeans
now have a name

for the Syrian
and Muslim refugees
they’ve taken in:

rapeugees. Because
Muslim migrant
mass sexual assaults

seem to be
the raping theme
in twenty sixteen.

So, women...
You think you’re safe?
Think again.

Because now we’ve learned
that we can be raped
for being nice.

So, keep a vigilant eye,
and keep up the good
work, ladies.
