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.
