I am Not a woman

I dress in such unflattering clothes,
my figure being hidden away—
too modest.

I wear tight suits,
accentuating my assets—
too showy.

Bare face and a post—
Are you even trying to look good?

Make up and a post—
Are you trying to look desperate?

It's not lady like,
to sit with open legs,
or showing dominance.

It's not lady like,
to sit so uptight,
or being too submissive.

Well,
what were you wearing?

Well,
what did you say?

A woman has taste in men,
someone wealthy,
cultured and refined.

A woman has an eye for men,
not looking for riches,
but fun and care.

Love is not for marriage,
only business.

It's informal to marry financially,
rather than emotionally.

Put on a bra.

If it bothers you,
take it off.

Don't be such a bitch.

Why are you so emotional?

You're not very unique,
you're just like the others.

Why can't you be like other girls?
You're too much.

You look better with a natural hair color.

I love a girl with crazy colored hair.

Why don't you wear heels?
They would make you look refined,
professional, even.

Why are you wearing heels?
You look like a prostitute,
I could even say, a whore.

Did you say no?

Did you fight back?

Did he penetrate?

Was he even inside you?

Do you realize how much of a turn off,
your opinion can be?

Do you ever even think?
You never join in on conversations.

Such a feminist,
so political,
so tiring.

Aren't you an activist?
Why don't you show more of your activism?
Do you even care?

Why are you crying?

Why won't you show emotion?

Well,
if he wasn't inside,
it's not rape.

Well,
it was so long ago,
do you really wanna ruin his future?

It's not a big deal,
I'm not him.

Just open your legs,
this is what you're meant for

You act like such a dude,
you're trying too hard,
you wont fit in with us boys.

You'll never be a girl,
that everyone likes,
if you dont try to understand us.

I mean...

Are you even a woman?
