You sexist brute
What's your problem?
Do you think
You know everything
Because you're birth certificate
Says you're male

I know your kind
I've met you before
Me and all
My female friends
Have witnessed people
Just like you
At least once

You 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 brain

I think
A lot
Obviously I have more sense
than you ever will
If you think I can't ever
Make a name for myself

Because 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 head

I should be allowed
To be whatever I want

Don't tell me I can't
Sit like this
Talk like this
Walk like this

Because I'm a woman.

Don't say I can't
Become a
Surgeon
Pilot
Doctor
Builder

Because 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 hair

What if
You can't stand me
Because you're intimidated
That I can be smarter
That I can handle pain better
Than you ever will

That giving birth
Is the second most
Painful thing
But women do it
everyday
Sometimes even
More than once

So believe me
I know
Where you'd like to see me
But what you should know is
I don't care

I don't care
About your opinion
As long as it leaves me
With no rights

I don't care
About your opinion
As long as you tell me
I can't be whatever I want

I don't care
About you at all
If you don't care about
Equality for all
