Feminism (Part II)

Life is already hard

So why make it harder?

They say feminism is stupid

That's ironic,

We're only trying to make you smarter

I'm tired of hearing things like

"What if that was your daughter?"

Or "your mother"

Or "your sister"

It only matters if it's in relation to a mister

Trump said something like

"If he likes her, he's gonna kiss her

Grab them by the pussy

They like it better if you're richer"

Sure, they're just words

But let's look at the bigger picture

How can the president of the United States

Look a woman in the face

Say things that are only filled with hate

While having a hat on that says,

"Let's make America great"

Unfortunately, as a woman

I already know my fate

I'll only get 80% of what men make

I have mace in my pocket if I'm going on a date

I need to discreetly hide my pads

So nobody will know I menstruate

Menstruation

Let's say it together

No, there isn't blood coming out of my whatever

My attitude is present

Because having a vagina

Means you're treated as a peasant

Don't mistake this as whining

Or complaining

Understand that this life is restraining

This next part is to the potential guy I could be dating

If I'm changing diapers

So are you

Please remember that having a child takes two

You said that you're hungry?

Yeah, me too

And if you need to cry

I'll stand by you

As a woman, I'll wipe your tears

Be strong for you

Feminism isn't just for the women in the world

Boys need it just as much as the girls

One day we'll see

That we're all the same

I'm hoping that with this I make at least a small change
