“I can’t walk to my car late at night while on the phone, I can’t open up my windows when I’m home alone, I can’t go to a bar without a chaperone and I can’t wear a mini skirt if it’s the only one I own,” Lynzy begins, picking up a ukulele. In an about two-minutes video, the young Texas teacher sings about male privilege and the many reasons women are in fear, ranging from being raped to feeling demeaned for speaking out to what she faced. She included the lyrics, which every woman would want to scream to those who hold President Trump-like thoughts. Some of the sarcastic lines go, “It’s really tough when your reputation’s on the line/ And any woman you’ve assaulted could turn up anytime/ Yeah, it sure is a scary time for guys.

Although, Lynzy did not name Donald Trump or Kavanaugh in her song, she did refer to Ford who accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a high school party in the 1980s.
