MASSIVE STATE OF CONFUSION IN SOCIETY FOR WOMEN.


Women are feminine,
or so they should be.
We have a certain power
in who we are
Often times discarded with hard
Callus behavior.
We spit and say dirty jokes, we shoot guns
And behave badly. And we say “why not”
For we have become men,
isn’t that what we wanted?

I say no.

Wasn’t that the goal of our sisters before
Who Fought for freedom,
the right to vote?
I don’t believe they wanted to be men
They wanted to be women in their own right
To have respect, be
admired and cherished
for who we are as a species
We are our own.

Why would we want to be like men?

We are unique as women.
We feel, we care,
We are gentle, we can carry life inside of us, it
Is our gift to bring life.
we bring joy, beauty, insight
we have so many natural talents.
We are giving,
Brilliant, hard working
and most of all we are feminine.

Our feminist sisters weren’t trying to make us like men,
wouldn’t that defeat
the purpose to be like
The animals that oppressed us?

There needs to be more women behaving like women
To teach our children right from wrong
to make the world a brighter place
not women trying to
Be something we are not and
making it a rougher place;

a world full of wanna bees?

What message does that send to men? That we want to be just
Like them? No we want to be who we are and respected for it.

Embrace your independence, so
Proudly we have gained,
but embrace it as a WOMAN.
