Feminism is my middle name, <br />For I fight for the right for female empowerment, <br />I don't like women being treated like second class citizens, <br />I want all women to have equal opportunities, <br />To live in the same community with the same rights, <br />I am glad women have the vote, <br />That there're female doctors, nurses, lawyers and the suchlike, <br />For I am a trouser enthusiast through and through, <br />But I am not butch, although I do wear lipstick, <br />For women shouldn't have to look like a girl, <br />Talk like a man and think like a woman, <br />Women should not have to change into something they're not, <br />But feminism has taken charge for the century just gone, <br />Women fighting for their social freedom and not allowing themselves, <br />To be treated like a sex object, for a woman isn't just a body: <br />A woman has a brain and deserves to be treated with respect, <br />Not to be treated in an inferior way, <br />And women have learnt to wear the trousers in the relationship, <br />And don't accept or tolerate abuse and won't allow themselves to be used, <br />For this is derogatory and the lowest of the low, <br />And all women, young and old, need to know, <br />That they deserve respect in any relationship and any violent man, <br />Needs to be kicked to the kerb and shown the door.<br /><br />Paula Glynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trouser-enthusiast/
