Moral: teach the girls everything

You should be able to say no,
They said,
If you don't want it
Say no,
Be firm,
Be clear,
Say no.

After a lifetime of
Hurts
Bruises
Coercion
Deception
Manipulation
False allegations
Wrong assumptions,
The girl finally learns what to say
To keep the wolves at bay.
To avoid the cringing
And the second guessing
That come
With a half hearted yes.

And realizes
That she has no words
For when she wants to say yes

Not even a maybe.

Ergo
The full yes
Trundles the same baggage
Of cringing
And second guessing
As the half-hearted one.

How is that any better?
