What Power Did She Have

A Woman's Worth

The Power she holds

At Home

When she is 16 years young you’re 24 years old and invite her on a date, only to shove her head down on your adult penis, what power does she have?

When you take her to remote locations and places to sexual assault her, what power does she have?

When you threaten her with slutism, whoreism, and one who lacks a solid moral compass, what power does she have?

When sexually you take advantage of her, then, in turn, slutify her as an added punishment, what power does she have?

When she is raped, and a child is conceived out of that rape, and you tell her MUST live with this, what power does she have?

When she trusts you and invite you, welcome you into her inner circle only to have you violate it with you vile decorum, what power does she have?

When you threaten to reveal information from her sexual past, what power does she have?

When you bully, violate and humiliate her in public spaces including social media, what power does she have?

When you shame, humiliate and embarrass her for not reciprocating your sexual advances, what power does she have?

What power does she have?

What power does she have when you have given her none to fight you?

What power does she have when you have kept it all to continue your domination on her?

No man is an island, and no man can stand alone.

Back then she had no power because you gave her none

Today she possesses such power because as women she stands united with her woman disciples which ultimately places power in our hands.

Are you willing to relinquish that control to the humans who brought you into this world?

Should we not be allowed to decide on matters of our own existence?

Do you have a vagina?

Do you know what it is like to carry around a vagina all day every day?

Do you have uterus, cervix, breast, monthly menstrual cycle, ovaries, child labor, breastfeeding, etc.?

How then can you decide FOR ME how to use them, carry them, care for them and make decisions that pertain to them?

When you attempt to overpower her with your dominance, what power does she have? When does she get to push back on your insatiable hold? What power does she have when you leave her powerless?

At Work

When you followed her into the ladies room uninvited, what power did she have?

After you entered the stall next to the one she was in, just to get a closer look, what power did she have?

When you so carelessly violated her right to be respected, what power did she have?

When you so carelessly invaded her privacy, what power did she have?

When you sequester her to your house only to pin her against the inside of the door, what power did she have?

When you uninvitingly fondles her, what power does she have?

When you fail to acknowledge that your sexual advances are unwelcomed, what power does she have?

When you requested she meets you in the back staircase and dark parking lots, what power did she have?

When you gave her verbal and written warnings and even termination for not complying, what power did she have?

When you placed your nasty filthy mouth on her breast as she slept while you inserted your finger inside her resting vagina, what power did she have?

When you mercilessly rape and sodomize her while she was blacked out from being too intoxicated, what power did she have?

When you threatened her livelihood with termination and or demotion, what power did she have?

At School

When you’re in the presence of your female students, and you cannot control your sexual appetites, what power do they have?

When you use your power to hold and keep them in your cowardice hold, what power do they have?

When you hold grades and other accomplishments over their heads, what power do they have?

When you prey on their innocence and vulnerability, what power do they have?

When you threaten her socialization, academic success, and growth, what power did she have?

At Church

When she came to you to learn and experience the glory of God, but you wiped her innocence with your sexual violation, what power does she have?

When she doesn’t understand what you’re doing to her, and you threaten her with God’s wrath, what power does she have?

When you take her to dark and sunken places in the church to continue your abuse on her, what power does she have?

God and the Bible said she should obey you, in turn, you abuse her, what power does she have?

When her parents entrust her to you, and in turn, you use God’s place of worship to rape and sodomize children, what power do they have?

Note to self: Tell the uninformed—BACK OFF, WAAAAAAY OFF!

Likewise, I have no idea what it feels like to carry around a penis all day and every day either.

I couldn’t begin to understand the functionalities of your manly parts, but I am not making decisions about them, neither are women around the world doing so.

So let’s make a deal, you worry about your manly parts, while I worry about my womanly parts.

No human or humans should have this much power over another person or people

We are all living breathing humans with human rights to our own individuality.

It is time that men around the world get to the understanding that they have no place in matters of what happens in my bedroom, reproductive systems, or other aspects of my woman existence.
