Fragile Femininity
Fragile masculinity exists–
Why not
Fragile femininity?
What do you call
A man who
Avoids picking up heavy things,
Fears putting on weight,
And spends hours taking pictures?
Someone who’s femininity
Is fragile enough
To crack whenever anyone dares
Call him a woman, despite doing
Anything and everything she can
To feel at home in him.
I’m sick of pretending
That the only kind of envy
Is for penis, when clearly
So many people
Desperately cling to the feminine
And take great offense
If you don’t respect them.
