You're not funny (and nobody's joking)

you can tell me it’s a joke
you can tell me i’m overreacting
it still won’t mean there’s anything funny
about the way you’re acting

oh yes, haha, i should learn to take a compliment
oh gosh how could i possibly forget
that i should be flattered when you tell me you like me
but you’d like me even more tied to your bed

no you’re not cool
you’re not giving me what i asked for
and my rejection does not give you the right
to call me a bitch, a hoe or a whore

please stop your disgusting rape jokes
and teach yourself not to have to imagine your sister or daughter
in a situation like that to make yourself see
that what you’re saying is no reason for laughter

don’t ask me if i’m on my period
don’t treat me like a kid for showing emotion
i can’t help it if the thought that women are people
is somehow too difficult a notion

so here’s to all the men with good traditional values
who teach their sons it’s a-okay to look down on their wives
yes, of course i’ll go back to the kitchen!
i’d love to show you how well i know my way around knives
