Rape

from Split w/ Self Rule by Iskra

/

lyrics

Men using sexual violence to gain power over women
Creating a constant fear of sexist attacks within the general population
A women has little or no control over her everyday safety
To avoid conflict she conforms to male will and expectation

Anger is the trigger, sex is the gun
The weapon men use to dominate women

One of four women will become the victim of a rape
Half the women in BC have suffered sexual assault
Eighty-six percent of all violent incidents not reported, known, or heard
Due to the constant possibility that no one will believe her

Aggression is the trigger, sex is the gun
The weapon men use to destroy women

Women’s status, race, and attire is often used to persecute
A pro-male system discourages women from the will to prosecute
Pornography encouraging males to view females as objects for their use
TV programming and advertisements that support sexism and abuse

A world made violent by the creation of men
Race, class, empire, and the domination of women

Patriarchal laws are at the heart of this shitstem
Rules and social policy created by rich white men
‘Reverse sexism’ is a myth whilst inequality persists
Sexist jokes and ingrained roles allows this oppression to exist

A world made violent by the insecurity and sickness of men
Capitalist structures promoting the rape and murder of women

In Canada a women is raped every seventeen minutes
The result of an imperialist mentality that doesn’t know its own limits
Rape and social inequality is at the heart of this land
Kill the pig in your head if you care to make a stand.

Anger the trigger sex is the gun
The weapon men use to degrade women

The will to gain power: his stimulation
Coercing her into subjection.
