I love how the entire poem she referred to them as boys, at the end when the guy is actually doing the mature and right thing, she refers to him as a man

It is actually a reflection of herself having matured enough to not get fazed about these things. She is mature now, and has now become unfazed to the point that she does not refer to the man as a boy because she is fazed by what he has done.
"The man tells me who he is, and I listen. I have so much beautiful time." Words to live by.

GwendolynRaine can you please explain it to me?
"The boy does not ask if he can choke me so I pretend to die while we're doing it." BRILLIANT!!!! SNAPS ALL OVER
this video has been a part of my life for years. i can never get tired of it, it got me through a breakup by repeating “the man tells me he does not love me, and he does not love me”
I love the facial expressions of the person behind her @ m e

I love the brutality in this poem and the way it mirrors how small we will make ourselves so men can fill the room. They are both exaggerated and it reminds me that there are others options than being "a good little girl".
I can't stop looking at the person in the background lmao

I love the vibe of the hidden eyes and the red lipstick for this poem. It's so powerful
I LOVE the facial expressions of the person behind her. I love how you can tell that they are listening to the words and understanding I just love it
I love this, I love her attitude and her diction. Brilliant.
"I have so much beautiful time"

@@pranitanaskar5938 she doesn't have to waste her time being "fazed" by that person who doesn't love her back.

PHILL SHIVELY she never said she hates men and of course that is all you got from that poem. Men like you are why we need feminism and men like you just prove us right everyday.

actually, she was talking about the boy(s) who toyed with her and tried to shape her in their image. if you got to the end she said she had a great time with the man who told her who he was (instead of try to push his standard of beauty onto her).
this is amazing 😍😊
i love this!
she is an ispiration
THIS IS TOO GOOD
Olivia.... feisty little creature. You are truly an inspiration. ❤

calling her feisty is kind of a insult
There is a strong feminist thread in here -- and it's a great kind of feminism that uplifts human agency, is imaginative. This poem is speaking to my condition, too, and the ways I wait for others to affirm me rather than investing in myself. Some people... well, I don't even need to say it because Olivia already has.
Amazing!
i love it.sparks.talent.maad talent
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ this is amazing

she's listing all the things she would do with the time she spent crying over these men, all the other people she could give her "beautiful time" to in this alternate universe instead of trying to change a man or make him love her

I didn't know Olivia invented baseball caps
So good! Does anyone know who the girl in the background is?
Would I be misogynistic to say she FINE AF??
;-)
The girl in the corner is so me
oh my god…. she’s unreal
jesus
The girl in the corner is ME

Some of these are fucked up pranks.
Weird
How is period sex being gross even something to be bothered by? Weird thing to drop in there with otherwise pretty reasonable offenses, other than the one about preferring blondes, you can't fault a person for their preferences.

It wasn't about him preferring blondes, it's about the fact that he keeps trying to change her and in the alternate universe, she refuses to change for him. Not liking period Sex is fine, but don't make a woman feel disgusted by something her body does that she cannot control.
Me And My girlfriend have noticed she was clearly getting excited throughout the video... her nipples legit inflate about 60%
Painful.
this is supposed to be funny?
