When I go home I tell my mother
the men outside are starving
She tells me
I must not dress with my breasts hanging
Said the boys will get hungry if they see fruit
Says I should sit with my legs closed
Like a woman oughta
Or the men will get angry and fight
Said I can avoid all this trouble
If I just learn to act like a lady
But the problem is
that doesn’t even make sense
I can’t wrap my head around the fact
that I have to convince half the world’s population
my body is not their bed
I am busy learning the consequences of womanhood
When I should be learning science and math instead
