Untitled Feminist Poem

Boys will be boys

Girls will be toys

That’s how its always been.

There’s Barbie…

but then there’s Ken.

“Things are changing, though!

Now girls get seventy seven cents

for every dollar a man gets!

And girls can be bosses too!

As long as they aren’t rude.

Let’s not forget,

that girls always get compliments!

Like when they walk down the street,

how sweet?

We don’t feminism anymore!

What would we even need it for?”
