Men are trash
Men are animals
Men are gross
Men are sick
Men are drunks
Men are useless
Men are lazy
Men are stupid
Men are rotten
Men are careless
Men are scary
Men are macho
Men are strong
Men must be men
Men are manly
Men are shallow
Men are selfish
But hey,
boys will be boys
Which is their truth?
Have we ever asked them,
What kind of man do you want to be?
What kind of man are you?
Why must you hold the idea of your gender so forcefully, scrutinizing it so critically?
Why not ask what kind of person you are?
You might be surprised
how the answer may change
because your gender defines a part of you
But it is not all that you are.
- A feminist who wants men to be better
because they can.
