Femininity Orb
By Adam Que
I was raised by a feminist
But that doesn’t mean I’m something soft
It doesn’t mean I never have fantasies
Or adore a woman’s voluptuous form
It just means I know a woman’s humanity
I know a woman doesn’t need me
Or
Any man to be a savior
I know women revel in the capacities of dreams
Just like I do
I was taught to speak and not give some stupid catcall
I was taught to look in her eyes
I was raised by a feminist
But that doesn’t mean I’m weak
I fought in a cage
I train as much as I can
I’m willing to battle for my friends—for a cause
It just means I’m a little more affectionate
A little more sensitive to people’s feelings
Especially to a woman’s wishes
And I still have a hard time expressing my own self
I was taught to be altruistic –
to hold that door open, for her, him, for them, for the future
