The feminist in me,
Cannot wrap her head
around,
Women dancers who have to dance half naked,
yet the man in the same song same dance routine
is fully clothed,
The feminist in me cannot understand
how Ray Rice can beat the daylights out of his fiance
yet she will still stay and defend his actions and the world will look away,
The feminist in me is greatly disturbed by the high level of rape
and yet people still view it as her fault,
The feminist in me still wonders why a woman is measured by her ability to procreate,
Heck!look at Jennifer Aniston tabloids have it at her being preggers 8 times this year,
The feminist in me wonders why a woman in power must be prosecuted ten times more
than a man in the same position of power,
See Anne Waiguru, Gladys Shollei,
The feminist in me wonders why women are still their own worst enemies,
constantly undermining instead of supporting each other,
The feminist in me cringes at the continuous societal view of what the beauty standard is
forcing women to starve, binge-purge, binge, self harm, bleach skin, sow hair into their heads,
botox, nip-tuck...
The feminist in me is perplexed at the gradual neglect of the boy child,
raising bitchypendent women in the name of empowerment,
The feminist in me wonders when sex will begin being viewed as just that sex
and not a transaction,
The feminist in me wonders when heteronormative men will stop telling me that I am gay
because I haven't found the right dick,
The feminist in me is bothered at the ridicule women who have children by different men get "it's not a good example" they say but a man can father as many kids as he wants, society applauds,
The feminist in me is baffled that a woman drinking alone in a bar is a "whore" but a man..."Oh!Well he is just enjoying his drink"
The feminist in me wonders why god is gendered...why god is a "he"...last I checked in Exodus god told Moses at the burning bush "I am who I am"...eeeeeh!!!somebody explain to me how this translated into god being a "he"...
The feminist in me cannot wait for the day that we begin celebrating diversity and not shunning it...
