I have come to the conclusion
that the only true and real feminist
in the world
is the woman who was born
with everything and without worry
without thoughts of
spending, buying, giving and receiving
maybe void of needing a human touch at all?
those like myself
who were born without any type of spoon
unable to drink even sour milk some days
I suspect will tell you
the same as I?
I don't mind a gentleman opening the door for me
or paying for a romantic dinner
nor do I mind if he wants to buy me roses
or drive me round in his car
I don't mind at all
if he puts me on the pedestal
that I believe I deserve
nor do I mind
ironing and washing or hoovering, cleaning the windows, putting out the rubbish
I'm not a princess?
I can do it all
and my vote?
well there's no one left to vote for is there?
the pit of the barrel
ego driven wannabe politicians
that I wouldn't want to give my precious vote too
anyway
after all
it's not all about
who made
the apple crumble and custard is it?
you make it today
I’ll make it tomorrow
and who paid what and who did what?
Adam and Eve
would have probably told you that, themselves.

A statement from the heart. That we are still talking about equality and feminism tells me that we have not yet achieved it. Sad when all of us are made of the same stuff and came from the same ventre or belly. A powerful write of being oneself and not someone else's desire.
Thank you dearest sorrenbarret, I have all sorts of colourful girlfriends in my life those of feminism those who couldn't live without a man and those who most certainly can. You have again read this perfectly as usual. Thank you so much 🌹 happy Saturday 💜
Before we left home my brother and I could cook, clean, wash clothes, iron and do all the housework which we learned from our parents and all through my life I have done my bit, especially the cooking which is one of my passions. I will always do what is needed in our lives.
Fine words Teddy and very true for many.
Andy
