Seeing some skeptics already popping up in the thread, I chimed in to affirm her stance, and expand it with some observations of my own.

#MeTooK12 Campaign | Stop Sexual Assault in Schools:
ME
I CAN'T ESCAPE ME
THE MAN DEVOURS THE FRIEND, THE PERSON
OF THIS I LONG TO BE FREE
THE MAN TOOK SO MANY YEARS TO DO
THE PERSON, THE FRIEND IS ALL TOO NEW
THE MAN LEARNED ALL THE CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS
EACH PART OF LIFE WITH ITS LIMITS AND CONDITIONS
THE FRIEND, THE PERSON DEALS WITH WHAT IS NOW:
LEARNING EACH MOMENT...WHERE, WHEN, HOW
THE MAN FILLS ME WITH SUCH DISGUST
WITH HIS EMBODIMENT OF LOVE WHICH IS LUST
THE FRIEND, THE PERSON ONLY WITH TRUST
THE MAN FLEXES HIS MUSCLES TO SHOW HIS STRENGTH
IT'S A SHAME IT'S MEASURED IN SIZE AND LENGTH
THE FRIEND, WELL THE FRIEND SHARES
ALL THAT THE PERSON IS IN KNOWLEDGE AND CARE
ALAS IT IS, I AM BUT ME
THE MAN, THE FRIEND, THE PERSON FOR YOU TO SEE
WHAT I AM MUST ALWAYS SHOW
BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE THE FRIEND, THE PERSON
THAT YOU WILL KNOW
