Propagandhi Lyrics
"Refusing To Be A Man"

I'm not going to try to tell you that I'm different
from all the rest. I've been subject to the same de-structure
of desire and I've 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. And there's a difference between
sexism and sexuality. I had different desires prior
to my role-remodelling. 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.

I tried to sever the connections between me and them.
I fought against their further attempts to convince
a kid that birthright can bestow the power to yield
the subordination of women and do you know what patricentricity
means? I found out just a couple of days/months/years/minutes
ago. It means male values uber alles and hey!
Whaddaya know... sex has been distorted and vilified.
I'm scared of my attraction to body types.
If everything desired is objectified then maybe eroticism
needs to be redefined. And I refuse to be a "man".
