Feminism

 

 

When something in you hurts or causes pain,

   You fight it with a dose of something strong—

Take medicine until disease is slain;

   Pop pills to counteract whatever’s wrong.

And that’s what Feminism is: a cure

   To stabilize the body politic—

Fighting an ill with medicine so pure,

   The fear of taking it makes some men sick.

Like casts are burdens once you heal the break

   And wheelchairs useless once you’re on your feet,

The point of Feminism is to make

   The need for Feminism obsolete.

      It’s not about enforced diversity—

      It’s about healing inequality.
