Ari Lesser - Equal Writes!
My sister Renae is managing an "Equal Writes" Kickstarter campaign to raise money for women writers at Shebooks.net. Here is the link to contribute: http://kck.st/1kbVVz7 Equal Writes Lyrics By Ari Lesser: Women make up more of the population Yet for some reason at most publications They face a world of male domination It's eighty percent in some locations Discrimination from coast to coast At the New York Times and The Washington Post Men get hired and paid the most Female journalists can't even come close For the few who make the cut it's still tough Cause the editors force the women to write fluff While men get to work on the serious stuff So let's take a stand cause enough is enough Women know how to write and their just as bright But more men get printed up in the black and white It's like day and night, so I'm a join the fight Until female writer's have equal writes Female authors tend to get screwed Cause it's mostly the dudes who get reviewed And the ones who review the books are men too So the whole review system is just skewed That's just how it is but I don't know why Since a woman is much more likely to buy A book than a man, yet somehow the guys Get seventy five percent of the pie In the magazine biz, men run the show Bylines by women, only one out four Same as it was a hundred years ago So I think things are changing way to slow Women know how to write and their just as bright But more men get printed up in the black and white It's like day and night, so I'm a join the fight Until female writer's have equal writes
