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

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."

Stay-At-Home Mom Offers Dire Warning For Other Moms After Husband Suddenly Files For Divorce

We've all heard the advice to not put all of our eggs in one basket, and while we generally think of that in terms of work, so that if one form of income dries up, we'll have a backup plan, it can apply to our relationships, too.

While it's perfectly okay to be in a monogamous relationship, we shouldn't place all of our happiness in our partner, or measure our sense of self-worth solely through the relationship, and it can be risky to fully depend on our partners financially.

Veterans Explain Which Things About The U.S. Military They Didn't Realize Until They Left

The saying, 'Can't see the forest for the trees' refers to a common inability to realize things about a situation a person is in while that person is in the thick of it. It's only after being removed from the situation does the person have the ability to realize where exactly they were and what was happening.

It's a similar idea to the saying 'hindsight is 20/20' which means reflection on past circumstances usually often more clarity than in the moment.
