"Women are always complaining."

No darling it is not.

Imagine being silenced, quitened for every waking moment of your life.
Be it about the strangers leering at you on streets
Or simply to keep your family's reputation in the social circle
Because no one listens
You're too quiet
Or Too bold,
or too blunt
Or too honest
Or too straightforward
Or simply Too much

Shush, don't say it like that
Shush, You're a girl
Shush, know your limits
Shush, don't overstep your boundaries
( with boundaries being putting people at their right places,
Not succumbing to pressure
Not giving in,
Not taking anyone's shit)

Shush, hes your father
He's your brother
He's your husband
He's your son
Don't be so harsh on them
Don't say it like that.

-My intake,

when a woman speaks
It is to break the silence that
inhibits her
To strengthen her voice
To accept things for what they have become
To find out solutions to her own problems
To use that voice
To acknowledge her own self
To listen to her voice

Cause , let's be honest, it's you who can't handle her speaking
To bear her presence
in the same room
For it is much stronger than yours
Speaks volume,contains more depth
Than yours ever did.

Simply put, your fragile ego can't take it.
What a pity.

Why it irks you that a woman is merely speaking to her friend?

Cause it's not you?
Darling you don't even listen to her
( you fuck-zoned her )


So, simply put

" Shut up and get lost."
