International Woman’s Day – A woman

A WOMAN SHOULD

HAVE…

Control over her own destiny

be techno savvy

Wear Bridget Jones knickers if she wants to

Say yes

Say no

To Christian Grey style ‘sexy

’ ^{Every woman should}

KNOW…

How to fall in love

Without selling her soul

Know how to keep her integral self afloat

A WOMAN SHOULD

HAVE…

friends who understand her soul’s desire

Be with her in her darkest hour

let her cry without

Telling her to dry her eyes

Help take her problems away

Laugh about it the next time they meet

A WOMAN SHOULD

Know…

How to cook a feast

Serve it from dishes she’s in possession of herself

Make her family feel

Honored guests at her place

Every woman should

KNOW…

How to walk away from abuse

When it first shows itself

Without feeling culpability

No matter how cleverly

The perpetrator berates her

Challenge her boss

When he feels her boobs

End an affair without feeling she’s used goods

Every woman should

KNOW…

That she can’t change her silhouette

For anybody but herself

Childhood ends at eighteen

Or when she has her first sexual

Sleepover affair

With the partner of her dreams

Every woman should

KNOW…

That the opinion of others only matters

If it affects them by some extraction

It’s a one-way street

She is responsible

For whom she allowed herself to be
