Refusing To Be A Man - Propagandhi

I’m not gonna try and tell you that I’m different from all the rest

I’ve been subject to the same destructure of desire, felt the same effects

I’m a hetero-sexist tragedy

And potential rapists all are we

But don’t tell me this is natural, this is nurturing

There’s a difference between sexism and sexuality

I had different desires prior to my role-remodeling

And at six years of age, you don’t challenge their claims, you become the same

Or withdraw from the game

And hang your head in shame

I think that’s exactly what I did, tried to sever connections

Between me and them

I fought against their further attempts to convince a kid that birthright can

bestow

The power to wield the subordination of women and do you know

What patricentricity means?

I found out just a couple days ago

It means male values uber alles, and what do you know?

Sex has been distorted and vilified

I’m scared of my attraction to body types

If everything desired is objectified

Maybe eroticism needs to be redefined

And I refuse to be a man
