Spoof on Trump's 'scary time for men' goes viral
What's the story
Donald Trump did what he does. He recently spoke out in defense of Supreme Court Justice, Brett Kavanaugh, after three women publicly accused him of sexual misconduct. "It is a very scary time for young men in America when you can be guilty of something you may not be guilty of," he said. A woman's apt response to Trump has gone viral.
The viral song
What exactly is the response?
A Twitter user Lynzy Lab Stewart shared a ukulele-backed sarcastic song titled 'A Scary Time'. She sings about male privilege and the multiple reasons women fear men, ranging from being raped to being scared of leaving your drink unattended to feeling belittled for speaking out about sexual assault. "I wrote a song about the scary time for men," Stewart wrote on Twitter.

About the parody song that took the internet by storm
While Stewart didn't mention Trump or Kavanaugh, she subtly mentions Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. She urges to wake up and take the initiative by voting, singing, "It's time for women to rise up/ Use our collective voice/The day to vote's November 6, so let's go make some noise." Guess, we need more women like Stewart to survive in this patriarchal society.

'I can't speak out against my rapist after 35 years'
Making references to Ford, Stewart sang, "I can't speak out against my rapist after 35 years/I can't be taken seriously if I'm holding back tears/and I can't ever speak earnestly about all my fears/But it sure is a scary time for dudes."
