Feminism

The theory of the poilitical, social, and economic

Equality of the sexes;

That is what defines me 

A feminist is who I am.

I fights for my sisters rights and choices

Sexism, misogyny, slut shaming are what I work to 

Defeat, so that I and my sister can walk the streets in peace.

A boy at school says I hit "like a girl"

A friend says I "get around too much"

I wonder how these are insults, how a girl is used to demean

I speak up and I aim to educate 

Because feminism has taught how to be myself;

How to have confidence and how to

Fight for my rights
