You sexist brute
What's your problem?
Do you think
You know everything
Because you're birth certificate
Says you're maleI know your kind
I've met you before
Me and all
My female friends
Have witnessed people
Just like you
At least onceYou think my job
Is to become a housewife
Sooner of course
Rather than later
Because honey
'You gotta use those eggs'Wake up
It's 2016
A vagina doesn't mean
I have no brainI think
A lot
Obviously I have more sense
than you ever will
If you think I can't ever
Make a name for myselfBecause I'm a woman?
Because you're a man?
Why does it matter?
It shouldn't matter
We're all humans
Why do you see
a difference
Between us when
It's really all
Just in your headI should be allowed
To be whatever I wantDon't tell me I can't
Sit like this
Talk like this
Walk like thisBecause I'm a woman.
Don't say I can't
Become a
Surgeon
Pilot
Doctor
BuilderBecause I'm a woman.
Why are you making us out
As the inferior gender
What did we do
To earn this?Is it because
my skin is smoother
Or maybe because
I have less hairWhat if
You can't stand me
Because you're intimidated
That I can be smarter
That I can handle pain better
Than you ever willThat giving birth
Is the second most
Painful thing
But women do it
everyday
Sometimes even
More than onceSo believe me
I know
Where you'd like to see me
But what you should know is
I don't careI don't care
About your opinion
As long as it leaves me
With no rightsI don't care
About your opinion
As long as you tell me
I can't be whatever I wantI don't care
About you at all
If you don't care about
Equality for all
