We are women We are inferior We are weak We belong in the kitchen and off the road We are nothing but objects for men to use as they please We’re not allowed to like comic books or cars or even the color blue We’re not allowed to be doctors or presidents Because those jobs are “for the men” In short we are nothing But that is not true We are everything above and everything below We are the beautiful heavens And the angry seven hells We are strong and brave Whether we’re tough as nails Or as soft as silk Whether we want to be stay at home mothers Or full time workers We are the women that deserve the world We are brave because While men prepare for college they are buying books and food along with packs upon packs of condoms and lube While when women prepare for college we buy books, food, pepper spray, rape whistles and maybe even take a few self defense classes if we have the time We are brave because Even though everytime we go out into the world we get cat calls and comments, harrassment and horn honks We continue to go out Again and again and again We are brave because When our fathers told us we could never be doctors or CEOs but, “a nurse or secretary would be perfect for little girls like us.” We rose up and said, “Fuck you!” We became doctors, brain sugeons, scientists, business women, and life savers So fuck the men that put us down Fuck the men who tried to steal our courage and ambition Fuck the men who put the seeds in women’s heads that think “I don’t need feminism!” Fuck them. Because we are women. We are not inferior. We are not weak. We can save lives in a hospital and still make it home for dinner. We are not objects to use and then toss away We like whatever the hell we want including comics and trucks and even the color blue We are doctors and CEOs Governors and business owners And soon enough whether you like it or not We’ll be sitting in the Oval Office In short we are strong, courageous, and Unstoppable. We Are Women
