"can the girls beat the boys?"
i can hear the commentator give his remark in disbelief
"no... no..."
says the other commentator
"HOW ARE THE GIRLS WINNING?"
the fans all yell in anger and raging hate
-
that's it
the girls won
they beat the boys
all of the boys who used to win
all of the boys who used to taunt and tease
look at you now
-
"IT WAS ALL RIGGED, THEY CHEATED!"
that was the headline of every local newspaper
now the girls who should be proud of themselves
the girls who made a name for themselves
they are hiding from men yelling hate towards them
walking down the street is no longer safe
being in your home is like isolation to all of women
whether they were the women who won or not
nothing was safe
-
these women were valued as nothing in the eyes of the men but to other women they were heroes for they changed the world
