"And that oppression is all in my head,
Which you say is irrational, and how
Could I have a rational mind like you when
I’m a woman,
And because I’m a woman,
I’m emotional, and prone to shifts in mood,
I am too weak to defend myself,
I cannot will-to-power like you,
I am the one who must be conquered
From the boardroom to the bedroom,
And defended as such all in the same breath,
Which you speak while demanding me to be silent,
Because women are not to be angry
Or sensitive
Or smart enough to figure out the chains of our oppression
So when you say that I’m sensitive
It’s because you know that I know these chains,
They chafe my ankles so."
