“Any feminist who has taken the high road will tell you that the high road gets backed up sometimes.”
Dang, that’s powerful
"You might want to do some work on why her flinch and startle makes you feel in charge more than it makes you realize your own power outage"
"It's not Rubik's cube hard to keep your mouth shut
just keep your mouth shut
you can do it man, I know you can"
My fave
"If women have to play dead to walk by your doorstep, you might want to do some work on why that turns you on".
Recently someone tried to "catcall" my girlfriend, by offending me... I mean, I get it... I'm not the manliest of men. But I found his ignorance so funny I laughed at his insult... If only I had this poem to show him...if only!
Dimitris Invictus next time instead of laughing you should’ve gone like yeah I know right and she’s mine I know I’m lucky😉
Omg I hate when guys cat call anyone in front of that person's partner
@@alexthetrashgod1047 I hate it when guys catcall period.
"Way to go, get the last one right, someone get him a tote bag!"
I’ve only read the title and I know it’s gonna be good, as usual
TwentyOneChemicalDiscoBoy ugh yes
TwentyOneChemicalDiscoBoy alsO i love your name yes
Those 7 dislikes are those trash ass people who cat call
I wish I could snap for this poem even though it can't be heard over the internet. Instead, I'll just clap at my screen.
I love the rhythm and how you have to think through what is being said
"in a swamp of your mothers regret"
holy moley that was powerful
"You might wanna do some work on why a flinch and startle makes you think you're in charge."
i love that each line is difficult to decipher, like each line is its own hidden poem. i really have to analyze and think about what’s being said. i love this poem, well done
Daaaaaamn! I just... wow! *bows down multiple times*
Woah, her flow is amazing!
And... Andrea's back in full force!
One of my favorite poets, I clicked so fast.
This is absolutely incredible
*tears of joy*
I love her so much!
I get chills everytime I watch this
I do not know why it took me so long to find this... I absolutely love it with every fiber of my being... Yes yes yes drag them All!
Love this so much 😊😊
easily my new favorite slam poem.
Andrea is one of the best poets out there. Amazing.

This was AMAZING
This is amazing

Amazing! Love all of her poetry! She is a true inspiration and will open any individuals mind!
Could you please edit your comment? Sorry for the sudden reply to a years old comment, but I felt this needed to be said, Andrea’s pronouns are they/them, and this information had already been publicly available for years prior to the posting of your original comment, though I’m not mad that you didn’t know, I just wanted to let you know to edit this comment, thank you and goodbye.
This deserves a thousand million views. ❤❤❤🎶
Yaaaaaaas this is amazing
i love her
lü na Andrea uses they/them pronouns
My favorite, ever!
Yes to this!!
incredible
The Santa Barbara shooting reference took me of guard, I have no words about how much I loved this poem
You go, girl!
amazing
this was the best slam i’ve seen in a while 😂 love
this was fun!
Imagine if all boyfriends write poems like this for their girlfriend's catcallers.
A man would never write a poem like this. A man will never understand the feelings of fear and disgust that comes with being catcalled. They're the ones saying "it's just a compliment"
Ragnar Sorry, but I know a man that wrote a poem for all the guys that catcalls girls. And he said in his poem that catcalling is not a compliment, and it doesn't make them manly.
Daaaaaaammmmn. Beautiful. Amazing. Gorgeous. The Truth. ❤️
This has happened to me before...I've never had the balls to do something like this. I love herrrrrrrr
YAAAAAAAAASSS!!!!
Who even dislikes such videos? Like what part of that do you disagree with?!
"You're voice box is a rubiks cube you couldn't get right even if you peeled the fucking stickers off" my fav line
Oh Hell Yeah!
OMFG YES👏💞
Yes!!!!
Omg. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Genuine question: has anybody actually gotten laid or a girlfriend from a catcall like.... I don't think it's ever happened so why do men do it.
That was a powerful rap.
Epic
relate relate
wow
when she talks about the manifesto I’m pretty sure she’s talking about Elliot Rodgers
THAT!! Was fucking awesome
YAS GIRL! YASSSSSS!!!!!!
Dazha Allen Andrea uses they/them pronouns

🔥🔥🔥🔥
Slay🌈
Andrea, yet again, has killed me.
Andrea fuckin SNAPPED
Hahahah lol I love it
FUCKING AMAZING
Fuck yes🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Thisssss
I went on a 30 min walk this morning and got catcalled like 5 times. As a stem who's face is just naturally really fem passing, I often think about how my future girlfriends are gonna have it hard.
Has this poem been published in a book? If so, where can I obtain a copy, please? If lyrics are published in CD jacket, would like that purchase info, also.
... was anyone else cheering while watching this?
How much are tickets
This happens to me all of the time. Like you see me walking with my lady and it's clear that we are a couple so what are ya doin??
KEEP YOU MOUTH SHUT.
Thanks for this.
Calm. No.
Always shocking to hear new words from Andrea. btw they're on tour!!!
Well I guess he doesn’t think a woman is supposed to be with another woman
Lol that shit is funny
Insanity at its finest
What's up with the weird hiccup breathing?
I thought this was a soyboy
Ffs
Sigh...and I thought this was going to be funny
