I didn’t realize how sexist I was
Until recently
I thought I was radical. And maybe I was
After all I wore a blazer and read Virginia Wolf and smoked hand rolled cigarettes
While speaking metered stoicism
Hunched in hallways where I leaned in
Whispering self agency
While all along believing
Male meant strength.
And only some women were strong
It was nature I said
I didn’t believe
all women are strong
as Fuck
