I guess we feminist woman-loving/man-hating
child devouring witches
of women (which I have been told
I am, just for having a voice
and a mind, and not hiding either)
no longer know our place
and we need to be schooled
on who owns us
and decides
what we can do with
these bodies
because we cannot think
beyond our cycles
please legislate morality
for us and tie it all up
with a pretty pink bow
but it is not life
you defend and protect
it is the place
you would send us to
obedient and voiceless
except to say yes, dear
and please, needing to be daddied
as much as the children
we bear and bear and bear
until
we stagger into the background
to let the next generation
of yes-women
hold you up
while appearing
to have no strength at all
to lift up ourselves

Love it!
…when in actuality, we exude strength, and it is that which you fear enough to wish to keep it in check.
You know it…
And, thank you!
Hell yeah! To hell with the pink bow…make mine a blinking neon one with the words…”if you can read this…thank a fucking woman cause she gave a shit whether you were born or not, fed or not, nurtured or not, educated or not, and guess what? She didn’t give a shit if you were a boy or a girl!!!” So get over yourselves. Hey…here’s a question for all of you ‘men AND women’ who think women belong in boxes……WHERE WOULD YOU BE WITHOUT YOUR MOTHERS? I’ll tell ya where, NO WHERE! Think about it.
(ok sfam, off the soapbox)
You KNOW I love your soapbox!!!!!
well it’s a good thing…your little corner of the world seems to be the only place i use it. why is that????
… Maybe because I provoke it? And very glad I do!
ah yup. and so am i. you give me a place to yell!
OK, here’s something you HATE—wait for it—
🙂

Sooo non-compliant! A bit rebelliousness is healthy 🙂
I think non-compliant is my middle name–or brat, or… Oh, the list is endless…
Hear us roar!
