I am a Feminist Poem by Mathew Dawson

I am a Feminist

Rating: 5.0


I am a feminist,

I know a lot of you probably just raised your eye brows, But after I browsed….and searched,
for a definition, I realized that you lot were tripping,
Because the word Feminist actually means: the advocacy of equal rights based on the
grounds of the sexes,
Why is that so insane, the thought of us being the same? ? I don't get it?
See I'm here to tell you 2 things
One, The world is like a bird, with 2 wings,
Two, One of these wings is men and the other is women, and until these wings are
streamlined then society will keep on winging,
How best we nurture our talents, because unless these wings are balanced,
We are gonna fly lopsided, see with one closed eyelid, but if we become united, Then we
will get skylift,
And fly UP UP and away towards a better civilization, because putting down one half of our
race is not optimisisation, It's stupid!
See I reached out, to a number of my close female friends, and asked them, I asked
What's it like, what's it like to be a women, when you have dreams of pursuing, something
society doesn't believe you should be doing, and I learnt that we are not far from ruin.
Because every single one of them told me that that they feel like they are not judged on
their brains and things, like ability, instead they are judged on their looks and their
likeability.
We need to change this,
Instead of looking at our women based on their features, we need to look at our women
and think how can they feature,
Instead of men killing females in honour killings, we should honour women, these are more
than just the mothers of our children,
Instead of countries banning women from the right to drive, we should encourage our
women to have courage, ambition and drive,
Instead of banning our women from an education because of their gender, we need to help
women become a bigger part of the worlds agenda,
I love that word - Instead, It Carries Hope, Something that's in men and women both,
SO Instead of me doing nothing, I'm here to fight the cause for our women, they say chivalry
is dead, we need to open doors for our women,
This persistent denial of equality to one-half of the worlds population is an insult to
human dignity, It allows for destructive attitudes and the harbouring of misery, On no
grounds, moral, biological, or traditional can inequality be justifiable, the time is now, is

undeniable, the time is now to speak up and make a difference, because we'll never get
peace on earth till we make peace with our women
