I Was Severely Bullied By Girls Of Color Throughout My School Life From 3rd-10th Grade. They Targeted

“How did Eve end up with all the damn blame...”

Okay so I’ve been wanting to add my own personal analysis of what this song means and what it’s pointing out.

I love Sara Bareilles not just for her amazing music, but for her acute awareness of the world as it is. She has not sold her soul to franchise and therefore not lost sight of the world around her. She is a true role model for girls everywhere!

 First; the question in the heading: ‘How the hell did Eve end up with all the blame?’ Was it because of this supposed ‘original sin’ that women have, since before recorded history, been constantly underestimated, oppressed and yes blamed!

We have been underestimated in modern times because historically we did not usually hold positions of power, with few exceptions. Why? Were we truly so threatening that we had to be so indoctrinated from birth in early archaic times, so that we could not look beyond our kitchens and birth canals? That we were taught that we are somehow ‘less than man’ that we are ‘not strong enough’. We were not allowed to think of ourselves as nothing, but damsels in distress.

So radical was it that there should be a female Monarch, or a knight! (Joan of Arc).

“..Kitty Cat calls..”

Was it for this ‘sin’ that we are to be held responsible for assault on our bodies and why? Because long have we been labeled as ‘tempting’. It was-and sometimes still is-considered our responsibility for the reactions we receive for what we wear. This sin which forever labels us as ‘evil’ that needs to be suppressed.

You can’t have a brain, just stay silent. Whatever you may say could be lead men astray.

You can’t be the hero, just sit quiet. Whatever mess you’re in, it is your fault, and a man has to save you.

You can’t be the leader, close your mouth. You will bring the world to ruin.

You must look pleasing to men’s eyes as punishment for being born the way you are, otherwise you are inadequate. 

All because we were considered a threat, and still are. Especially now! Now we’ve found our voices. We don’t need to smile and sit complacent for your pleasure.

Don’t tell me to smile, that’s not your place. I’m not here for your enjoyment.

No, I won’t tolerate your harassment on the street, you should know better.

I am not an object.

I am not to blame for your behaviour, or the problems you created, so point your fingers somewhere else.

Control yourself, and get out of my way. I’ve got shit to do.

The full story

Oh boy, love this🙄. The pumping of my leg in first grade set off my teacher so much. one day she asked me to stay after class and when my mother came to pick me up. (Btw I lived in the neighborhood and it was standard  for me to walk home so, she made my mom panic about why I wasn’t home and then had the gall to be ‘inconvenienced’ by my mother being ‘late’ to pick me up, even though I told her I lived around the corner from the school.) She asked my mother right in front of me if I was being treated for a brain tumor. which of course gave me a panic attack because even though I was young, my dad was a nurse, so I knew what ‘tumor’ meant. Thanks Mrs. Dean. You should’ve retired ten years before I was born, you decrepit fossil.
