#sexist
there is not a sexist bone in my body. not a one. there is not a bone in my body entire, that it's marrow, but just tinged, more singed, nay, more, more, burnt and burning with ****** desire. ****** desire is a concerto of the five sense organs: vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. my body performs Halley's Fifth. my woman listens carefully.

1 x 3: there is not a sexist bone in my body
for a woman all too often it's not about the reputation that precedes her but rather unfairly like a stalker it's what follows closely behind her

***** Lines, Part I
If men had a curfew lives would change in many ways But there’s some setbacks to the attempt of fun outside When I’m not with muscular friends past a certain time of day I’m told to cover up my bra strap because the boys become distracted Since “boys will be boys” reigns and girls pretend to be attracted What if I could eat a burger in a bar without the need to feel guilty about my diet And when I’m asked if I think I’m fat I say no, because it’s fishing for compliments to deny it I’m told that I should be complacent and dress nice by a man three times my age And scolded by society because it’s unladylike to be in a fit of rage I could go outside and gaze at the dance the stars know so well But I sing along with the peculiar song of that familiar cautionary bell What if I could go out with friends past eight PM and explore the bright! Happy! world Stagger through life in heels with our wit sharpened and eyelashes curled No, I have to spend my time hidden “safe” inside From men who think there’s no more to me than what they can see with the naked eye This has happened ever since I turned the ripe old age of 13 Because there’s some people out there on the streets Whom it would be an injustice to only be described as mean I could walk out to my car without my hand poised with my keys as if they were a knife And not have to worry about how a short low-cut dress could harm my life (Me too) It could be worse! They say, for some reason with such force. But since when was my safety A cause for discourse?

It Could Be Worse
If men had a curfew lives would change in many ways But there’s some setbacks to the attempt of fun outside When I’m not with muscular friends past a certain time of day I’m told to cover up my bra strap because the boys become distracted Since “boys will be boys” reigns and girls pretend to be attracted What if I could eat a burger in a bar without the need to feel guilty about my diet And when I’m asked if I think I’m fat I say no, because it’s fishing for compliments to deny it I’m told that I should be complacent and dress nice by a man three times my age And scolded by society because it’s unladylike to be in a fit of rage I could go outside and gaze at the dance the stars know so well But I sing along with the peculiar song of that familiar cautionary bell What if I could go out with friends past eight PM and explore the bright!

Why are teenage boys so aggressive? I can take care of myself, thank you. Do they think violence is impressive? I can fight my own battles, thank you. Are they trying to be protective? I don't need a bodyguard, thank you. Are they all so very possessive? I don't belong to anyone, thank you.

A Case Of Boyish Hijinks
when a bunch of  old Senate men and some intimidated women voted to heave      an accused ******      and proven liar with an alcohol problem      given to irascible outbursts, fits of self-pity      and insulting comments on women into a lifelong seat on the highest court in the nation      against voluminous evidence of his lacking qualifications the statue of the Goddess of Justice      whom a former attorney general       had all covered up in blue cloth dropped her sword and scales tore off her blindfold and covered her naked ******* in shame

the day U. S. justice died
By Arcassin Burnham Pleasure , Pleasure, Pleasurable desire to be pleasured, And be looked into when love has this measure, I could put this all together. Sexist , sexist, Thinking women could be ****** objects, To be appalled in this transaction to look good in that leather, I could put this together. This Is a new experience. This is a new experience.For me This is a new experience.

White boy With your inherent privilege Straight. White. Boy. Privilege. Please, make another joke About ****** harassment No, really It's funny right? Especially because you're joking that Your male coworker is sexually harassing you Gay jokes are funny too, huh? Ironically, That's the same male coworker Who I had to explain Just hours beforehand How the ****** encounter he described Did not include informed consent How fitting. So, White boy, I'm curious how you'll fare After I told the manager About the content of your jokes (Not the proudly homophobic one, Luckily? Right.) Who then looked uncomfortable But seemed pleased when I told him that I had already called you out Because that means he doesn't have to Because he wouldn't anyways It doesn't affect him Just some harmless humor Ok. So then I tell my coworker about your joke Who then responds with: "He's still doing that **** Apparently so Apparently. So. Because no one there seems to care About jokes that put me The only person at work read as a girl (Which I'm not by the way) In an extremely uncomfortable position Why is no one else uncomfortable? Why does no one else say anything? Right, They're all like you Or they don't want you to judge them Because you have that power Because you're a Straight. White. Boy.

White Boy (F*** You, Greg)
Calling out dead poets as sexists or rapists or users is the opposite of woke enlightenment. The poet’s job is not to censor his experiences or his madness for sanitized comforts. The poet’s truth is his gift of insight, a naked wisdom of hard love and difficult choices. Narrow fools so often absorb this sweat and blood poured onto the page. After their souls are satisfied, that’s when the fools unsheath the long sword of ignorance and ****** the blade square in the poet’s back.

They say that one hundred years ago Women ‘earned’ the right to vote It makes you wonder what men did To earn that right before us. It must’ve been something pretty impressive.

you fight like a girl
When I was young I promised myself that when I grew up and got hot, If I ever got cat-called, I would react. I would scream, Kick the bumper of their car, Throw my overpriced drink in their face, Be angry be ****** Take no **** from anyone who dared to look at me. I grew up. I'm not hot, I'm okay enough to look at, Okay enough to earn the attention of two middle aged children in a ****** silver four door car. I promised myself I would react. I froze. Took another faulty step Felt my ankle struggle under the weight The ends of my pants brushing my toes Blood rising to my face. Not a blush. I was not flattered. An inferno. My mind in flames. The heat trapped by my mouth Glued shut by $20 lipstick from a brand owned by someone who hates what I am. Didn't I promise myself? I didn't react. Hardly moved a muscle. Too slow to even furrow my manicured eyebrows in rage. I know now That the world will always be cruel. And the world will always think I'm Hot Beautiful **** Cute Attractive So what good is having my own pretty face When everyone else thinks that it's theirs? Nobody will ever own me Not even myself.

I look at the stain My period has left on my favorite ******* And hold them in my hand As I contemplate what to do with them. I can try to get the blood out But the stain will still linger A reminder that I am only human And ************ is natural but - “Dont talk about that, Thats so nasty. Maybe that's why You've been such a ***** Typical FEMALES” I am gross for being a woman? Men worship my ***** But the moment I bleed It's as disgusting as curdled milk. Society wants to see me As something unhuman An object to worship A ****** mindless creature That does what she's told A FEMALE. But I am a WOMAN I have ideas, morals, and input. My thoughts and opinions that matter. I can make jokes, And drink beer, And read, And play video games, And be a musician, And speak my mind, And bleed. Like a FEMALE human. Or, Like a woman.

FEMALE
your witty remarks and hearty jokes aren't very funny i thought i'd tell you before things got out of hand i don't appreciate you calling me *"sweetheart" "baby"* or "darling" you are no one to me and those nicknames are reserved for those who actually know how to treat me as a human not a plaything just because i was born a certain gender does not give you the right to feel like you have the right to call me what you want and treat me as you please my ****** (yes, i spoke the forbidden, sue me) does not make me better or more than any other human with any other *** organs so next time you're about to open that big mouth of yours or put your arm around my shoulders or wink at me you'd better think twice i'm using my words nicely but i'm not always going to be so nice unlike what you said earlier i'm not overreacting this is a natural response to everyday sexism and just because society has become used to it adapted to it accepted it does not mean i will give in or give up or ever conform to these downright disgusting norms i am a woman that does not make me inferior to those of other genders nor am i superior to anyone well... except, maybe, you

"hey there, babycakes" [sexism]
He looked at me But did not see me He could not feel me He only saw what he wanted to see. An object, a female As if blood did not run through my veins As if I can not feel hurt or shame Almost not worthy to have my own name.

Hollow
Having ripped my way through Concrete older than my father With jackhammer and Shovel I rest. As thirsty as sweaty and ***** As dirt. Across the street The ladies at the hair salon Whistle and wave giggling girishly. Clouds of menthol. **** sexists. I put my shirt back on. It's not even lunch and I'm Less than a Diet Coke ad Without the coke.
