Songwriter Absolutely Roasts Trump's "Scary Time For Men" Comment With Viral Song

It's titled "A Scary Time."

United States president Donald Trump created a stir for claiming that it is “a very scary time for young men in America" in the wake of US supreme court justice Kavanaugh's sexual assault hearing.

In response to this, musician and dancer Lynzy Lab Stewart has gone viral for creating a poignant song listing the lengths some women go to in order to avoid sexual assault themselves.


The song, entitled A Scary Time, sarcastically explains how frightening life is for men:

“It's really tough when your reputation's on the line and any woman you've assaulted could turn up any time."



While Trump's quote implied that men in the country are at risk of being falsely accused of sexual assault, Lynzy's song flipped this on its head and proved that women's fear and stories are worth listening to.

The song is part of an ongoing #MeToo movement worldwide against sexual assault, founded by American activist Tarana Burke.

Since being uploaded to Twitter on October 8, the song has reached over three million views and has been shared by celebrities including actor Mark Ruffalo.


And it's struck a chord with many others, as well.









Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in as a US Supreme Court justice by a very narrow margin after being accused of sexual assault by three women.

Lynzy ended the song by encouraging listeners to vote in the 2018 US mid-term elections, which will be held on Tuesday November 6.

She sang: “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."

Downey Jr. roasted his longtime co-star in spectacular fashion while presenting her with The Hollywood Reporter’s Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, a moment that played less like a formal tribute and more like Tony Stark gently ribbing Pepper for forgetting who Spider-Man is.

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump by riffing off the presidential "Walk of Fame" Trump unveiled in the White House back in September, gifting us the "Presidential Walk of Fatigue" instead.

In September, Trump's assistant Margo Martin shared a video of a hallway filled with the portraits of former U.S. presidents. Martin announced that "The Presidential Walk of Fame has arrived on the West Wing Colonnade," and the video she shared pans over multiple portraits of former presidents before lingering on an image of Biden's autopen signature.
