Kim Addonizio's poem- What Do Women Want?

This Poem is Sooo kick-ass. Am I wrong?

I wanna do what I wanna do.
I won't bat my eyes, won't apologize
for anything. Cause I'm a woman.



I feel empowered just reading it. I think every woman should read this, out loud and to a crowd if possible. You will feel amazing. My friend begged to to recite it at a party, and it somehow came to me. I sort of memorized it. And the response was so incredible. The men loved it- were moved by it- felt tremendous respect and admiration even! And it dawned on me. Men aren't anti-woman at all... not all of them anyway. They just don't understand feminism and fear it because they think its a war against men. When men think they are being confronted they fight back. We should stand by their side and talk to them openly and honestly. Tell them who we are and what we want. They will listen and they will like it. Sometimes I forget- though the helpless thing works for a while- men love and respect strong women. A lot. Its turns them on too. What doesn't?
hahah jk.

Very nice poem:)
