I Am A Woman

A woman

I am a woman

I am not an object

I am not only there for sex

I do not need your approval

I am pure in my own way

I cook and clean but not because I have to

I should not be equated to intimate objects

I will not cater to your every whim

I am a woman that deserves respect

I am intelligent

I am independent

I do not need your help

I am entitled to my own body

I treasure my body

I am a woman

I am allowed to be with who I want, when I want

I can have sex, whenever I want

I can be innocent at times

I love bubble baths and romantic comedies

I love basketball and boxing

I embrace my masculinity and my femininity

I deserve to protect my basic human rights

I deserve to be paid as much as a man

I deserve equal opportunities as a man

I do not fit your standard of a typical woman

Most importantly I am a human being

Treat me as if I am one
