(Disclaimer I am extremely amateur at this, and welcome any feedback on errors)

Inspired by the "MN in six words" thread in FWR (annoyingly I can't link as I am on the app) I thought it would be good to have a FWR haiku thread.

Here are my efforts to start us off (I never know whether to capitalise or not, and I also want to use "silenced" but can't work out whether it is 2 or 3 syllables Blush)

Women of Mumsnet
are not witches for burning
We will not submit

Pretend all you want
but men are not women and
biology rules

While you check our thoughts,
And label us with hate,
Three women die a week,
Under your watch,
Under his eye.

Stole food To feed my child. I am now Your tool of validation. Misogyny always finds Novel ways to punish women.
Rewriting that one.

I stole food
To feed my child.
I am now
A rapist's tool of validation.
Misogyny always finds
Novel ways to punish women.

Master seeking slaves
You will not subjugate us
Bloody but unbowed.

Rights hoarding dinosaurs
Long for the extinction
Of politics for idiots

I used to love rainbows
Magical gifts from heaven
Now I just shudder

Sexual excitement
From wearing undies
Is not woman.

What is in a word?
Autogynephilia.
Woman is not your fetish.

Sex is immutable,
Despite your tantrum protest -
Your insistence is scary

LilithOfEden · 04/02/2022 09:38

Sort of fits the Haiku pattern for the pedants:

Oh no, Owen Jones!
The right side of history,
Eludes your misogyny.

Wolves in sheep’s clothing
- Or in sheep’s stereotypes -
Are still fucking wolves.

Perfect.

Let us take action
Ribbons, stickers everywhere
Empower women

NutsOhHazelnuts · 03/02/2022 22:49

Not transphobia
Defending women and girls
We women won't wheest

Waves upon the shore
Night follows day, follows night
Truth remains the truth.

Ninkanink · 03/02/2022 22:21

How about:

Woman know thyself -
Steadfast, immutable, fact:
Female, always so.

Women need to see
Gender is misogyny
The cult of penis worship

FemaleAndLearning · 03/02/2022 22:03

These are so clever, but then you are a clever bunch.

Winter turns to spring.
Eggs to chickens. Night to day.
Men to women? No.

Sigh I was sure I’d got the syllables correct...let me re-think!

Steadfast, immutable, fact:
Female, always female.
