Morgan St. Jean - Not All Men (Official Lyric Video) 

"Have you ever felt like you were beaten, but they left no bruises" this line hit me on another level

To all men, we know it’s not all men. But it’s enough for it to be all women.

Not all men, boys will be boys, firedrills, gate-keeper.... these songs are so powerful and so goddamn important!

To other survivors, from a survivor: No matter your age. No matter your gender. No matter the clothes you wore. No matter what people say. You. Are. Not. At. Fault. If you relate to this song, I'm sorry you had to go through that. But more importantly... share your story and lift our fellow survivors up. Sharing your story is the best thing you can do. I'm not forcing you to, especially if it's still been far too recent. But if you can and want to, do it. It inspires others to speak up against this world's abuse. My story has been shared enough, so I'm here to tell you to share yours. You're worth fighting for, I promise. And we will stand by you.

"If you tell the truth, they say his life is ruined." It breaks my heart because people who suffer are dissuaded from telling the truth because of the consequences of their actions... It's disgusting

first time listening and “have you ever blamed yourself for drinking thinking maybe you’re the reason why?” had me full on sobbing.

im 13 years old and i can relate to this song. that just shows how true this is. our world is messed up. edit: im coming back to this now at 15 and i wanted to thank everyone for all the kind words and support. to all the people who have similar stories to mine, i wish you the best

This is a masterpiece, it deserves more popularity, because those lyrics are saying so much about our daily life (concerning women), live u' ans gl

“We say no but they still hear yes” is heartbreaking. That’s exactly how they think, they assume we’re playing because we’re uncomfortable. This song makes me tear up 😣

im a man and i just found your music, it's amazing, almost cried from the lyrics, considering how important the message is, and how powerful this song is. it's important to not be quiet about this shit, do NOT be silenced. whether you are man, woman or other, always speak up, always seek help, its impossibly difficult, but when you do, you'll know that you gave it your all. im 24 and ive been with my girlfriend for +9 years, and she is everything to me. unfortunately she's been through more shit than most people will ever even experience in their whole lifetime, and that's why this song gets to me. because it breaks my heart knowing everything she's been through, and that she still goes through, each and every day. I truly hope things will change, because it is insane the shit that men do and slip by without any fucking consequences. alot of men ive known when i was younger used to say "oh women have more rights than us now, and they still want more more more" and all I can say is, NO. women simply want to LIVE without fearing for their lives. EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. DAY.

This song is stunning and so fucking important. I can't stop playing it ♥️

I am crying looking at my daughter sleeping so innocent and peacfully. I was 7 and when I told my dad he told me I am a liar. I will always believe her no matter what. Never told my mom because of what my dad said to me that day. Listening to this makes me believe she felt the same aa I do at some point in her life.

Oh my god. My entire body erupted in goosebumps while listening to this. I’ve never been so quick to show the people in my life a song before. You, my love, are going to change the world with your music one day. Please, never give up. We need women like you standing up for all women. Thank you.

"If you tell the truth they say his life is ruined" That hits close to home

This is literally the most relatable song I have ever heard! There is so much violence that happens against women (both physical and not), so much that every women has experienced it, but it’s still just Ignored and disregarded by society, saying ‘It’s not all men’. Thank you soo so much for writing this and sharing this! This is soo important!!! ❤️❤️

The fact that every woman hearing this has shared the same experience is why this is so important.

My Mom told me that she didn't understand why the #MeToo movement got so big. I'm going to play this video for her. The first line about walking after midnight made me think about the fact that that flies in the face of the "How not to get raped" training that all girls are given by female relatives. Most men have probably never had the experience of seeing a woman walking towards them and pray that she didn't mean him any harm. Another good song is "What It's Like To Be a Girl" by Emilene.

This is a gorgeous song with strong vocal emotion behind every word. Being the only guy in my house growing up, I had more of an awareness to how dangerous it is for women and how careful they have to be while it never crosses most guys minds. I almost couldn't listen to the entire song because one of my biggest fears is something happening to one of my sisters or to my mother. I can't bear the thought of it. Guys, if a woman ever asks you to accompany them to their car house or anywhere especially at night please please do. It decreases the chances of something happening to them. Please stop the thought process of women saying all men do this, because that is not the case. The reason it is so important is because statistically 1 in 3 women will experience sexual assault or worse in their lifetime. Help protect and support. Don't be defensive and stonewall. We need to be more understanding, cooperative, and work on collaboration more. This is one step we need to work on to achieve that goal.

I don't think this song will ever fail to make me start crying. The people who don't already get it still won't, but the rest of us feel more seen aand less alone. Simply, thank you.

I saw a video that said “how do you act with a gun? With all guns..how do you treat it?”. You treat it like it’s loaded. That’s what women do with men. They treat them like they could be dangerous. Because they could be. And we have no way of knowing which ones are or which ones could someday be.

If it isn’t already, I’d love to see a tshirt with all the lyrics put like this. I’d definitely buy it

I don't usually like this kind of music, but this is so strong it makes me extremely emotional

Molested at thirteen, but I typically just say I've been sexually assaulted before. Most of the time I get caring responses from fellow women... but the amount of times people ask "What were you wearing?" Infuritates me. I was wearing a tank top and pajama bottoms, because not only was I supposed to be asleep but I didn't think I'd have to worry about my late sixties great-uncle finding my still developing tits too alluring to handle. When I say men disgust me, I don't mean all men, honest. My brother is my best friend, my grandpa is my savior, some of my closest friends have been guys. When I say all men scare me? I mean _every single man._

This song is catchy, realistic, and sad all at the same time. It gives a feeling you can't explain. It's sad that our reality has become what it is today. If only we could go back in time or things changed for the better. It's not all men but it's enough.

I've never experienced the kind of abuse this song talks about, but that doesn't mean I'm not scared of it happening to me.

I've listened to this like 10 times on repeat. It's such an amazing song!

This song definitely triggered something in me. I started sobbing halfway through and it took a few minutes to be able to breathe again. It's been over a decade, and still not healed.

"We say no but they still hear yes" i felt that

Never could've expected a song to so bluntly send the message and put into perspective how important it is while being absolUTELY beaUtIFUL P.S. To all my enby pals listening to this, know your completely valid listening to/relating to this song

She has such a beautiful voice❤️

I’m so glad I found this. It’s a masterpiece like honestly I cried listening to this the first time I heard it. I’ve had a toxic six month relationship. It broke me. He broke me. I felt like I couldn’t say anything. But I’m learning that I can share my feelings.

I can’t believe I’m just hearing this now. So powerful!!

My entire life I've been abused in some way. When I was little it was my dad then it was the other kids and when I got my early teens I found myself getting pressured to do things or send people things and ended up being groomed by someone I thought cared about me. When I finally started speaking out everyone I thought was my friend treated me like shit telling an 11/12 year old that she asked for it. Then last summer I was assaulted by a 19 year old. I was hanging out with people I thought were my friends and even though they knew he was a predator the left me with him. One by one they disappeared and he started to corner me when he stuck his hand down my pants. I ended up going home late and getting yelled at them breaking down to my mom about what had happened while she called me a Liar. She called the cops and we made a report that same night. About a week later the police officer called and told us there was nothing he could do because the DAs office told him to drop the case because the guy came from money and his family was in politics. The police officer almost cried. And more recently I've been getting harassed by a guy at my school. I've been asking teachers and admins for help for three years about this I'm 14 now. Nothing was done and when I lashed out they threatened to call the police on me meanwhile he got a slap on the wrist and I got two weeks suspension and now I'm stuck doing summer school. The system doesn't care. And this isn't everything just some of it. #metoo

Never has a song made me cry like this one, in less than 2 minutes. Unbelievable powerful lyrics.

I honestly almost cried, my brother was the one who told me to listen to this song after I told him to listen to what it means to be a girl by Emaline and I just told him that as much as I love him he will never be able to understand how hard these songs hit. It is truly amazing how men will never be able to fully understand what women go through, as much as we have the men that have only a fraction of understanding of what happens they will never fully understand and that is why women have to stand together not against each other. -Edit: honestly when I wrote this I was young and I didn't realize the fucking war it would start in the replies. Yes, I know it is not all men but it *is* enough to generalize. I also realize that it was entirely rude of me to not include non-binary people who were afab or ftm transgender people. They would understand and it was wrong of me, I'm sorry. But my point still stands, i don't care how much shit you want to start in the replies again, most men will never understand to the full degree what happens to women.

thanks. just thanks for this song

This song right here. Women suffer because of patriarchy, but when we react to the oppression we get told „not all men”, „stop generalizing” ect. Yes it’s not all men, but it’s enough men for almost every girl to have at least one bad experience with them.

We will not be silent any longer. It's not all men, but ITS ENOUGH that we hold our breath and expect the worst.

i listened it to this song so many times in spotify i already know all the lyrics i love it😘🥰🥰🥰

The fact that I want to share this to my FB page right now but I'm scared of the backlash says a lot.

This song is so freaking amazing, and I’m soooo glad she wrote this because it’s not just a phenomenal song but it’s so powerful. She ATE THIS SONG UP!

THIS! Thank you for putting your artistic brush to such a huge topic. I am sharing with all my ladies!

HOLY SHIT- I'm Glad i searched 'Not All Men'-- I was kinda doing some studies on this because of a essay my Teacher gave my class, This song SOUNDS SO GOOD- Glad i found this earlier.

I smell an underrated artist

'We say NO, but they still hear yes.' I felt that

Needed this song when the cops asked me " What were you wearing?" "How did you say no?"

God this song really just reaches into your soul and *squeezes* I remember being on a school trip and being followed by a random man even though I was surrounded by classmates walking back to the buss. It was terrifying, I have never been happier to have one of my best friends there holding my hand throughout it. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if I was left alone or she wasn't there. Even before experiencing this I had such a deep fear of being left alone with random men or boys my age, no matter who there where. The horror stories I've heard and the comments you hear whispered around impact even those who hasn't experienced it first hand.

Just found this song on TikTok, strong lyrics & clear an strong message.

Thank God someone said it perfectly, all men should listen to this

Have you ever walked a little faster After midnight when you're all alone? Have you ever pulled your jacket tighter While pretending that you're on the phone? Have you ever held your tongue When someone tried to call you "baby"? If you say a word, he's gonna call you crazy Well, I have and she has, too We all know that it's not all men We all know that it's not all men But it's some of them So we hold our breath, baby nonetheless We say "no" but they still hear "yes" Blame our clothes and it's not all men But it's all women So we hold our breath, baby nonetheless Have you ever blamed yourself for drinking Thinking maybe you're the reason why? Have they ever said that you were lying 'Cause he's handsome and he's way too nice? Have you ever felt like you were beaten but they left no bruises? If you tell the truth, they say his life is ruined Well, I have and she has, too We all know that it's not all men We all know that it's not all men But it's some of them So we hold our breath, baby nonetheless We say "no" but they still hear "yes" Blame our clothes and it's not all men But it's all women So we hold our breath, baby nonetheless And their words are like a bad tattoo Too prude She was asking for it Trust issues, bad news She was fucking boring She was such a whore and ugly in the morning And it's not all men but it's all women (But it's all, but it's all women) (But it's all, but it's all women)

As a 14 year old who has been through this and my family defending the man who is my brother i relate to this so much Update: I'm now 15, I'm still living with my mother. I get into verbal fights with her often about it and her only defense is always "I was defending my son" which really isn't a valid excuse. Family or not he's a r@pist. I only have one of my brothers on my side the rest of my brothers and sisters pluss my mom oare on the r@pist brothers side. Unfortunately I do not have the heart to leave yet. I own 3 cats. My moms told of to take care of em and my 18 year old brother won't. The cats are the only thing keeping me sane and alive at this point. I don't have the heart to leave them till I am able to have the money take care of them. I know its stupid that even with all the sh1t I put up with I stay just for the cats but they are the only things that seem to actually care about me. They always seem to appear when I'm not dying well mentally or physically. They really are the only things keeping me.

I just don’t have enough words to describe how amazing the song is. You won’t be able to get more accurate words even if you tried to. And I’m certain that almost all women if not all can relate to this song. Thank you very much for this inspiring song and for being brave enough to express what all women go through.

I dont leave my house enough to relate a lot to those specific scenarios but the lyrics still hit hard.

I get chills every single time I hear this song and tears form in my eyes.

I can't even express how much this song amazes me. It's masterpiece. I think you explained everything to the point and I think this message needs to spread all around. I can't relate to the most of the song, only some parts but the song still touched me and made me shiver because this happens every day somewhere and young girls and women get hurt. I am so sorry to everyone who been through something like this ( men including but we are focusing on women for this song) and I hope for everyone to heal and live their lives in the best way possible.

I'm so proud of you and grateful at the same time! We all know it's not all men but it's all women. This alone says it all.

I really really love this song.

My whole body shivered Hearing this...

This song hits so hard I feel it in my very soul not just my heart. This song resonates with every single cell of my body every fibre of my being.

Incredible song when it came out, it now means so much more today. With our bodily rights being stripped we need to start getting really angry and really loud.

I LOVE this song🤧👌🏻

As a man, this song makes me so angry to my core because it's true and from the bottom of my heart I wish that there was never a reason this song needed to be written. It hurts when people are scared of me for my gender, but not as much as it hurts whenever I hear of another person being abused with no real recourse. I hope that we can change and that things will be better someday. It's not my fault, but I'm still sorry it happens.

Wow. I genuinely can't remember the last time I heard a song that hit me this hard. Such a deep, important and beautiful masterpiece. God bless you, Morgan, and God bless you all.

This is perfect ❤️

Every woman can resonate with this song but it’s not ALL men… wow, powerful !!

the level of rage I felt while listening to this is unmatched. It's not all men, but it's all women and always men.

when something is too stunning: *THIS FREAKING SONG*

Any time I listen to this song I just cry. because it always hits so god damn close to home, and I wish so badly it didn't but it does

Wow, this is the first time I've been left so speechless. This song took my breath away.

What an amazong song! ✨💖✨ Thank you sooo much 😟 🤗

I relate so much to the part that says "if you tell the truth than his life is ruined."

This is a masterpiece. One thing I can’t stand is when men call me “crazy” when in truth, there’s a shit ton of emotional issues in me

This song actually helped me understand how it feels. I was always supporting the strugles women feel. But on the other hand I alway kind of hated how women used to say "Men are bad" (And similiar stuff). Because I wasnt bad, I did my best to not be. And I did my best to support women. I understood where its coming from and wasnt mad because of it. Just felt like my support didnt matter. But this and some other stuff helped me understand more what the point is. And it helped me to understand the situation better. Which in the end is what I wanted. So I guess what I am trying to say. I know what you mean. And I hope that this will get better with time, even though sometimes it seems it wont.

again i love this song so much and it needs more attention, im trynna share it as much as i can💓

Thissss is so fucking strong. This is what we have been trying to explain all the time.

AAAAAH i love it !!

So emotional. Driving me to cry.

A single tear rolled down my cheek.

Thank you….thank you 😢😢😢❤️

omg why am i just discovering this???? this is a masterpiece

This is a masterpiece.

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE 😭

This is the first song to provoke such a gutteral and visceral reaction in me since Still by Alanis - the line that got me was "I see you silencing your sisters" - every word in this song slaps

Thank you for this. No lies detected here.

It's not all men, but we don't know which men it could be until it's too late

This is just what i needed for my heart to say : *your not alone*

not all men but all women has their own stories

Just heard this for the first time today. I'm shattered.

"Have they ever said that you were lying cuz he's handsome and he's way too nice?" HOW COULD HE GET AWAY WITH IT IF HE WAS LIKE THAT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE ;-;

Absolute masterpiece. This deserves more attention

This is an amazing song. I’m crying.

April 1st 7yrs ago. Was when my choice was taken. This song helps me fight every year since it came out, honestly she has with most of her songs so thank you.

If I were to give you a dozen of cupcakes and tell you that three of these cupcakes are poisonous, would you still eat one of them? Because “not all cookies”.. Exactly.

I’m clicking, I’m liking, I’m commenting, I can’t listen cause I’m worried it’ll trigger but I’m sure it’s amazing and helps bring attention to situations most people avoid discussing.

This song is amazing; it gave me goosebumps! I truly love it and the message it conveys. Thank you!

I’m “lucky” enough that my trauma blacked out all the events. I don’t remember my entire childhood, but I do still feel the effects like flashbacks and zone out periods.

This song deserve like...

Incredible song

God I couldn’t fully get through this. I keep crying. I feel this allot and I just resonate with it allot.

IT'S DEFINITLY MY FAVORITE SONG
