“Girly, Tough, Ain’t Enough”
Is it because my ovaries didn’t drop?
Is it because I can’t pee while standing up ?
Or maybe it’s because my Dad’s sperm didn’t carry a Y chromosome -
No I’ll tell you what it really is.
It’s your ignorance that makes you think that just because you have a penis
It makes you better than me.
Well, guess what sweetie?
Anything you can do, I can do better
And in heels.
Women work their behinds off just to get respect,
Working 9-5, but still making less.
See, what you choose to ignore is that all women are capable of excellence,
Working straight through pregnancy but still have to deal with your unpleasantness.
So you’re telling me that Girly, tough, ain’t enough?
Last time I checked, tough means strong enough to withstand the obstacles thrown at us.
With all that women overcome we still prosper.
For you to think we are not tough enough, is just improper.
