Poem: Here’s To Your Rape Joke

Here’s to your rape joke,
here’s to your ‘boys will be boys’ conditioning,
Here’s to your every lame
“Go make a sandwich,
Dishwasher,
Babymaker” joke.
Here’s to your
“You are just overreacting” reply
for harassment complaints.
Here’s to your
“Stop being a pussy” bullying.
Here’s to your
“Are you that feminist type?” bigotry.
Here’s to your
“What were you wearing when it happened?” fuckery.
Here’s to your
“You don’t have a vagina, you can’t be a woman” nonsense,
Here’s to your
“Oh, what she means to say is..” mansplaining behaviour –
FUCK YOUR BIGOTRY.
There are far too many sandwiches to make,
CEO seats to fill,
Nobel Prizes to win,
Books to write,
Films to make,
Children to raise,
Dreams to chase,
Things to be,
Landmark judgements to pass,
Women to meet,
Tampons to restock,
There’s a whole revolution to win,
Generation to lead,
Orgasms to feel,
Kitty parties to attend,
Nails to get done,
Laundry to do.
Did you really think
We have time to entertain you?

Here’s to you assholes,
A Toast,
In celebration of our womanhood.
In celebration of our victories
Cheers!
