Put the glasses down

There would be no men without the birth of a girl

By Kiesha’s DiaryPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

she tells you to grab a glass, so she can make a toast

“cheers to not hating all men, just most”

the word ‘misogynist’ gets thrown around

but when asked to define, the answer is never to be found

the coming generation have been brainwashed and dictated

that all men should be hated

i promise you, i am not a pick me girl

but i stand on the same side as Tate and Pearl

feminism is turning ugly and evil

as women, we have our strengths, but we will never be equal

to think we are, is not being responsible

because it is mentally, physically, and emotionally not possible

yes, this is a man’s world

but have you not learned?

there would not be men, without the birth of a girl

we were involved with building the ground’s foundation

by birthing, this huge population

a mother is something no man could ever be

personally to carry that as a strength, i think is pretty extraordinary

so no more toasts, put the glasses down

and when asked to describe men, maybe use a different adjective or noun?
