Misandrist gotchas

Letra

MISANDRIST GOTCHAS [Intro – Spoken, playful sarcasm] Welcome to Misandrist Gotchas! Where prejudice gets a makeover, Statistics become accusations, And somehow fighting discrimination, Means making a few exceptions! Now before somebody gets offended... Misogyny? Disgusting! Misandry? Same damn thing! Equal rights, equal respect, Now let the guitars sing! [Verse 1 – Funky, mocking] "If you had ten little donuts, And one was filled with shit, Would you really trust the other nine? Wouldn't that be ignorant?" Well, that's a clever question! But here's a little clue, You can't blame nine innocent people, For what the tenth might do! "And what about the snakes, huh? Some are venomous, you know!" Well, caution makes good sense, But where's this argument supposed to go? Take precautions, trust your instincts, Keep yourself safe and sound, But don't confuse a person's gender, With the danger all around! [Chorus – Big, catchy, stomping] Misandrist gotchas! Misogynist excuses! Same old prejudice, No matter who produces! Call it liberation, Call it self-protection, But hate don't turn to justice, With a different classification! Oh, sexist gotchas! What a revelation! You can't fight discrimination, With more discrimination! [Verse 2 – Sarcastic storytelling] "It's all men until it's no men!" Well, ain't that justice grand? Everybody's guilty, Just for being born a man! Now flip that little argument, And tell me how it sounds, If we blamed all women for the actions, Of a few who messed around! "If you don't stand against it, Then you're part of it as well!" Well, accountability matters, But let's think this through a spell! Should everybody challenge hatred? Absolutely, when they can! But guilt ain't something inherited, Just for being woman or man! [Chorus] Misandrist gotchas! Misogynist excuses! Same old prejudice, No matter who produces! Call it liberation, Call it self-protection, But hate don't turn to justice, With a different classification! [Verse 3 – Bluesy, sharp] "But men commit most violence!" Well, let's examine that! You pulled a little statistic, Like a rabbit from a hat! If most offenders happen to be men, That don't mean most men offend! Two different calculations, But you skipped that part again! And women face real dangers, That deserve our full attention! But blaming every innocent man, Ain't a form of prevention! Statistics show us patterns, They can help us understand, But numbers aren't a license, To condemn a woman or a man! [Verse 4 – Playful call-and-response] "Not all men is minimizing!" Well, that depends on what you mean! You can recognize a victim, Without blaming everyone you've seen! "Misandry's only online!" Well, ain't that wonderful news! Does misogyny stop mattering, When it's posted there too? If hateful words can shape beliefs, And stereotypes can spread, Then maybe judge the message, Not the gender being said! And women can cross boundaries, Men can be victims too! Consent applies to everyone, No matter who they're drawn to! [Bridge – Music stops, spoken comedy] "If you don't fight every injustice, Then you're supporting it!" Every injustice? Every crime? Every cause? Are you campaigning for every victim? Rewriting every law? No? Well, maybe we should recognize, There's a difference between complicity, And simply being alive! [Instrumental – Slide guitar and harmonica] [Verse 5 – Stronger, serious] If a desperate person robs you, Hold them to account! But understanding why crime happens, Is what prevention's all about! Poverty and trauma, Addiction and despair, Broken homes and failed systems, Problems everywhere! Violence needs prevention, And victims need support! Justice needs accountability, Not a demographic court! So let's address the causes, Not just point and shout! If equality's the mission, Leave collective blame out! [Final Chorus – Triumphant, full band] Misandrist gotchas! Misogynist excuses! Same old prejudice, No matter who produces! You can't preach equality, While assigning collective blame! You can't condemn one hatred, Then excuse another by its name! Oh, sexist gotchas! Here's my observation! If equality's the destination, Stop making hate the transportation! [Outro – Spoken, warm but sarcastic] Respect women. Respect men. Believe victims deserve to be heard. Hold perpetrators accountable. Misogyny isn't justified. Misandry isn't justified. And if your argument only works, When you change who's allowed to be hated... Maybe it ain't the gotcha you think it is. Yeehaw!
