Is it wrong to be a woman?

Is being a woman wrong?

I can't walk the streets without a new cat call

If I say I'm a feminist

All men want me put in my "place"

They think I'm only here for their pleasure

Well, fuck that!

I am my own being!

I know I'm beautiful

But society wants me to think I'm ugly

Men can't know I'm on my period

Just because it's something they don't have to deal with

Well, guess what

I don't want to hear shit about what you have to deal with that I don't

I don't want you drawing dicks on a girls desk

Or telling a girl she is ugly

Cat calling me or any other woman

Trying to force those of us who are gay to take your goddamn dick

Sorry those two inches don't appatize all of us

If I want to be gay or bisexual I will be

You can't stop me

I was raised to be a woman

To be proud of who I am

To not need ANY man in my life

My father is a feminist

He agrees that women aren't treated fairly

He doesn't give a shit about if I'm gay or bisexual

But this is where he is not a feminist

He won't let me participate in football

Baseball

Or even soccer

Unless there is an all girls team

So please
