“Man” as Gender Neutral
I was complaining to my partner
That I really wish
I could just call her “man”
Without it being too casual —
Like dude
Or being too formal —
Like “you’re a human male man”

I wish man
Was a gender neutral term
I wish woman
Didn’t exist, not because
I’m trying to erase womanhood—
But because I wish we could
Erase the distinction
Between man
And Wo-man
What does the wo mean?
It’s the other category
There is adam
There is eve
There is man
There is womanly
What do
Any of these nonsense things even mean
Just fucking let
Humans
Be the norm
Let man be gender neutral
Stop making women other
And stop telling me that there are
Sisters and brothers when clealry
We are all siblings of the same family.
