“I Am Not A Dress” by
@brandubh4
We are
women, we are warriors of steel.
Woman is
something no man will ever feel.
Woman is
not a skill that any man can hone.
Woman is
our word and it is ours alone.
I am not
a dress to be worn on a whim,
A man in
a dress is nonetheless a him.
Women are
not simply what we wear.
If this
offends you, I do not care.
I am not
an idea in any man’s mind
And my
purpose in life is not to be kind.
So while
my rights are trampled every day of the week,
I will
not stand by being docile and meek.
I am not
defined by sexist lies.
There is
more to a woman than that shallow guise,
That
guise of dresses, bikinis, and skirts.
Those
clothes are not what womanhood is worth.
I am not a
bitch, a TERF, a whore, a slag,
Hysterical,
witch, a slut, a hag.
No, I am
a woman. I am a female,
Who will
not let her rights be put up for sale.
I am not
defined by what men are not,
So to
hell with cis misogynistic rot.
I am a
woman, I’m not as subset of my sex.
If this
makes me a dinosaur, so be it, I’m a T-Rex.
I am not
a bleeder nor a menstruator,
A womb
carrier or a uterus haver.
These
words and phrases are such a sham.
Just call
me woman, it’s who I am.
We are
women, we are warriors of steel.
Woman is
something no man will ever feel.
Woman is
not a skill that any man can hone.
Woman is
our word and it is ours alone.
