BECAUSE our work is never done & under or unpaid or boring or repetitious

and we’re the first to get the sack

and what we look like is more important than what we do

and if we get raped its our fault

and if we get bashed we must have provoked it

and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches

and if we enjoy we’re nymphos

and if we don't were frigid

and if we love women its because we cant get a real man

and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic and/or pushy

and if we expect community care for children we’re selfish

and if we stand up for our rights we’re aggressive and unfeminine

and if we don’t we’re typical weak females

and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man

and if don’t we’re unnatural

and BECAUSE we still cant get an adequate safe contraceptive but men can walk on the moon

and if we cant cope or don’t want a pregnancy

we’re made to feel guilty about abortion

and for lots and lots of other reasons

we are part of the women’s liberation movement
