Let's share some feminist poems we have written! This one is called 'Gender's

The leather winged rope

Gender

The leather winged rope

Umpa lumps stick it up your jumper
The leather winged rope

Night in with the girls
The leather winged rope ;)

Ok I have another one. This called Less Beans

Interior beans

Semitonal banaleans

Vacuum seal pop across sketty hoops

Not a being but an action undone but performed but abstained but performed

I am you and you are pretending to be me.

I wrote this after being annoyed at a neighbour whose instinct was to laugh when my son was playing with a 'girl' toy. I can't even remember what it was.

Ode to a sexist man

O sexist man
You make me cross
Let's take your thoughts
To their logical conclusion.

Boys should not like girls' things
For this is to step down
The hierarchy.
The natural order
Of things.

Your daughter likes girls' things
But to like the odd boys' thing
Is cool; a step up
The hierarchy.
The natural order
Of things.

So you show your daughter
She is inferior
To boys.
You laugh at my son
For his weakness
Where I see strength.

So men are above women in
The hierarchy.
The natural order
Of things.

So you are better than me
According to the hierarchy.
The natural order
Of things.

I don't fucking think so.
Sexist man.
Or should we say
Dickhead.

wheyyyyyy moofolk you're one of the good ones!

Does it have to be poetry we've written ourselves? Because this is my favourite:

Mrs Icarus
By Carol Ann Duffy

I’m not the first or the last
to stand on a hillock,
watching the man she married
prove to the world
he’s a total, utter, absolute, Grade A pillock.

And this, by Wendy Cope:

HE TELLS HER
He tells her that the earth is flat —
He knows the facts, and that is that.
In altercations fierce and long
She tries her best to prove him wrong.
But he has learned to argue well.
He calls her arguments unsound
And often asks her not to yell.
She cannot win. He stands his ground.

The planet goes on being round.

I'd recommend Billy Collin's 'Man in Space' on-line, I'm rubbish at links on phone, sorry.
