I just don’t really agree with feminism,
you say,
I love men, so how could I
perpetuate an ideologue that demeans
them?
I find catcalls flattering,
you claim,
it is nice to know that
men find me attractive.
It’s just a joke,
you say,
when a man calls me a
cheeky bitch
Just some harmless fun,
you tell me,
isn’t he just so funny?
Ignore him,
you advise me,
when he pinched my arse
Thatโs just the way he is.
Donโt be so sensitive.
You know how men are,
I wouldnโt worry about it.
But I did.
(I wanted to slap him in the face,
and tell him never fucking touch me
you son of a bitch.
You were there,
so I didnโt tell him that the real
reason why all his wives left him
was because he refused to treat
them like human beings).
You are a woman,
who
buys her own shit;
independent as fuck.
You are where you are
because generations of women fought
for their right to be seen
as more than a uterus
whose place was in the kitchen
making a sandwich for the husband
who was in front of the television
shouting
and drinking his beer.
You rarely bad mouth a man
because you mistake sexism and misogyny
for flattery and humour.
All you do, though, is regard women as nothing
more than objects to be judged.
โOh my god, look at her, sheโs the fattest lady Iโve seen.
How can she wear that skirt? Has she looked in the mirror?
How is he married to that?โ
Your attitude is the result of generational
perceptions imbued within society
from patriarchal structures of sexism.
Iโm talking in generalisations
but understand this,
I donโt intend to shove my beliefs in your face.
just donโt tell me that I should accept harassment
just because theyโre men
And I am a woman.
–ย i have no time for your outdated notions of ‘gender equality’
