Of all the other words out there why do I have to choose this one?Yeah, this dirty little word- or so I hear!
Here's that F-word for you people
FEMINISM
I hear, feminism is for 'angry' women and 'feminine' men.
Angry women? Isn't that a misogyny?
Feminine men? Isn't that misandry?
I still hear, it's for them.
Now I ask,
Who are these 'angry' women?
Transsexual women?
Bisexual women or an asexual one?
Poor women?
Women with illness or those million women who are body shamed?
Who? I would like to hear it now.
The voice has fainted already.
Who are those 'feminine' men?
Gay men? Or a bisexual one?
Men with responsibilities?
Men who are sane?
Men around you?
Ahh!! I now hear it again, that the F-word is a dirty little word.
Well, hear me out now.
The F-word is liberty to examine our privileges.
The F-word is to listen to each other.
The F-word is looking at options through a broader spectrum.
The F-word is to stand up for each other.
The F-word is to practice equality.
The F-word is for 'everyone'
Hear me out. The F-word isn't dirty after all, trust me.
It's possible.
Feminism is possible.
I try.
I try again.
I try again harder.
I don't hear them anymore!!
