Women…

women
CREATE
but as long as they are
crushed
under under the fists of
patriarchy
we will never know
what they are capable
of doing
what a loss
for the species
for the animals
for the world itself
to those men in power
extinction
is preferable
to setting women
free

  1. We just have to keep pushing and putting our stuff out there.

  2. Of course…easier said than done.
    Also, we are some of the more fortunate women on the planet.

  3. And sometimes, we live under the control of patriarchal societies, that even as the world shifts, we are still, ruled by it, and it takes us, forever, to, snap out of it, and sometimes, we don’t, even, stop, seeing our own means, via, the perspectives of, males.

    • How can we? We never knew anything else. The male gaze, the male everything. It’s disgusting, like fighting your way out of something you can’t see.
