A Guessing Game

Feminists used to fight for freedom to

Elect and be electable to    

Grow hair everywhere to   

Not have your children to

Get paid the same

What do we struggle for now

I want to fight for women

But I can’t speak for women

Because I’m not    Black    /    Lesbian   /    Hispanic     /   Transgender    /   Asexual    /     and

Manhating      

Within opinions we are discriminating

Against the voices speaking for all

Polarized and stuck to self-made labels

If the female gender is a performance

What are we playing                                                                             A guessing game

Did I not get the job because of my sex                                 or because he was more qualified

Did that guy just stare but he was too scared to talk                      or should I call it harassment

In these ambiguous moments, do I blame me                  or do I give it the benefit of the doubt

And rant about phallic supremacy

HE, not me

Maybe it should start being we

Everything is grey since

The white male and the black female

were deconstructed
