Feminism

When I was small My favorite color was blue It was my first day Of kindergarten Proud to announce it Only to realize That blue Was a "boy color" The girls told me that Just like their mothers Told them the genders Corresponding with colors... But this is not about colors This is about how Each unshaved hair on my leg Or shaved hair on yours Is your choice, not society's This is about how Women should be comfortable In their own skin This is about how Each and every girl Should be able to feel Comfortable In public Without a mask of makeup Hiding their natural skin We are facing society Head on Wether it has open arms for us Or not No longer do we care About what society thinks of us We are the rejects of middle school We have broken out Of our boxes And traveled beyond the shelves And do you know what we found? An entire nation Of diverse Intelligent Women

"We are facing society Head on Wether it has open arms for us Or not No longer do we care About what society thinks of us We are the rejects of middle school" - This made me smile and cheer! The ending is terrific!

Hey, that stupid colour thing is nothing. Even when I was younger I hated it, and I still do. We girls can do whatever we like, can't we? Nice work, :)

I'm not this real feminist, but this poem made me feel so

Who says blue is for boys and pink is for girls? All the colors belong to all of us!
