Sex is what’s between your legs and gender is the pain in your ass

Here is a version of a 1970’s poem that I really like.  Not sure who it’s by… but enjoy!

“For every girl who is tired of acting weak when she is strong, there is a boy who is tired of appearing strong when he is vulnerable.

For every boy who is burdened with the constant expectation of knowing everything, there is a girl tired of people not trusting her intelligence.

For every girl tired of being called over-sensitive, there is a boy who fears to be gentle, to weep.

For every boy for whom competition is the only way to prove his masculinity, there is a girl called unfeminine when she competes.

For every boy struggling not to let advertising dictate his desires, there is a girl facing the ad industry’s attacks on her self esteem. 

For every girl who takes a step toward her liberation, there is a boy who finds his way to freedom a little easier.”
