you have the nerve to say that women are squeamish when we see blood month after month you say we are too emotional to hold office, too fragile to be independent, too unpredictable, to be on our own but you forget we are bulletproof. you forget we have stamina and fire inside of us because we are fighting twice as hard to be recognized as the amazing, successful people we are. we are fighting to be seen as more than our appearance, to be valuable because of our brains instead of our ***** we are bulletproof.

we are bulletproof pt. 1
you have the nerve to say that women are squeamish when we see blood month after month you say we are too emotional to hold office, too fragile to be independent, too unpredictable, to be on our own but you forget we are bulletproof. you forget we have stamina and fire inside of us because we are fighting twice as hard to be recognized as the amazing, successful people we are. we are fighting to be seen as more than our appearance, to be valuable because of our brains instead of our ***** we are bulletproof.
I've been ogled too many times, and skipped because I am seen as less worthy to my male peers, and I'm angry and tired and I have to fight twice as hard when I am more qualified and ready to do a good job.
