Feminism; The Final Wave by They Told Me Not To Write™

It’s funny how, they take a word, make it their own and now it has to be redefined.

A word so obvious in meaning but, watch, for some reason this poem is going to tickle the mind.

It actually makes perfect sense, this word that’s thrown around, you see.

It actually fits my nature, my origin, my fitra. It’s called, femininity.

So, here’s the question, the bafflement, or as my father would say “the bullshit” or the irony.

HOW DID THE WORD FEMINISM COME TO REPRESENT MASCULINITY?

In my black & white mind feminism equals femininity

To be gentle, to be nurturing, to be dainty

To be merciful, to be patient, to be loving, to be wise

To be soft, to be attractive, to be a listener, to be kind

To be fair, to be soft spoken, to be crafty, to be supportive

To be a woman, to be a female, to be a mother, to be noticed

To be a wife.

Now pay close attention because HERE lyes the motive.

“To fully corrupt a society, you must start with the destruction of the home.

Make the woman’s sanctuary disgraceful, remove her from her throne.

Take away the broom, the pan the tea kettle, the sweet pies.

Take away her beauty, her soft hands, her smile, her lullabies.

Take away her kids, her authority, her family, her nestled interests.

Now Let’s replace It with boots, aggression, ego, independence Oh and Pinterest.

Replace it with ungratefulness, tiredness, distractions and lies.

Replace it, with intolerance, “Hurry, I’m late for work”, nuggets and French fries.”

Look at what they got us on, confused by what GOD created simply.

Feminism Equals Femininity,

Femininity Equals Female,

Female Equals,

ME.

I am a Feminist! Who’s with me???
