Gazing into my pretty face, 

Seeing mere woman —

No different than any other.

——

But if you peered deeper, 

You’d find a —

Woman greater than ‘classified’ gender.

Because I’m feminist, 

Doesn’t mean I’m against men.

Required for me are but —

Same wages, salary —

For the same position worked. 

—–

Provide me access to healthcare, 

Birth control; doctors —

Of all specialities needed whenever. 

——

I’m a working woman, educated —

well; the Mom —

Driving her kids to hockey.

Tidying the house and hoping, 

My ‘modern’ husband, 

Helps me because shared chores —

Equal happier relationships –less fighting. 

Don’t talk trash, 

Hurt and abuse; I’m strong.

But your sexist comments hurt;

Our Grandmother’s mother’s, 

Began fighting for women’s rights.

Writing? Yet I —

Push their battle on so —

One day my daughter doesn’t, 

Have to fight;

Ignored for being a female.
