He clears his throat, adjusts his tie,
Declares, "Now, let me clarify."
You've studied this? He's read a tweet!
And he will tell you in a beat.
He says, "Your thoughts are interesting."
But you're the peasant, he's the king,
Then he goes, "You couldn't know,
But, no worries - Let me show."
His facts are wrong, his tone divine,
What he just said? That was YOUR line.
Repeat, rephrase, sigh in despair,
"Thank God, my love, that I am there."
"Now look," comes next, a grin so sly.
"Well, surely, I can tell you why."
"Don't take it wrong," his face will plead,
"I'm just explaining what you need."
He calls you "dear" to sound mature,
Repeats himself, "Just to be sure."
Won't let you speak, no questions asked,
Fragile pride, so barely masked.
And FINALLY, that man is done,
He'll smirk, believing he has won.
You tell him off, a deadpan face,
Middlefinger, perfect grace.
This was YOUR thing, not his, oh no,
So you tell him, WHAT you know,
Embarrass him? He asked for it!
And if that man should throw a fit,
Just remind him who YOU are,
And that you didn't get that far
Without your knowledge and your brain!
All of this? YOUR domain.
Tell him off, or kick him out,
Don't be silent, no, be loud.
Mansplainers stop only when,
You call them out, these fragile men.

he said
i wasn’t feminine.
he said it twice,
hoping the echo
would re‑write
my code
of not being lady‑like.
he came to the conclusion
we should stop.
i talked like a mate.
and didn’t fit
his narrow idea
of a woman.
and i told him,
i won’t fold myself
to fit his frame.
no one
gets to offer lessons
on
how
we
should
be
shaped.

You say you’re the GOAT,
and perceive yourself as oh so clever.
Like you’re the first one to come up with such an impeccable and hilarious acronym.
Impeccable: adj. in accordance with the highest standards;
Just like you, right?
“It’s a double entendre, get it?”
No, sorry, my femininity hinders my abilities of basic thought.
Tell me more…
******
You look like the kind of guy
that’s into S&M and taking MD.
Fittingly, you can **** My Metaphorical ****
