I Speak


I speak for women

I speak for girls who were asking for it

I speak for the mace in my purse; Don't be such a

girl

My gender- an insult?

I speak for the Equal Pay Act not passing

I speak for him being mean so he must like you

I speak for the suffered many swimming through a sea of oppression; Be a

man

Your gender- a symbol of strength?

I speak for whores

I speak for reveling clothing

I speak for the double standard; What a 

stud

You're a stud- but I'm a slut?

I speak for the abused

I speak for the 19th amendement

I speak for mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers; Be a

human

Hyper. Blunt, Passionate. I was asked awhile back 3 words that describe me and these took the cake. I'm involved in theatre, Speech and Debate Team, SRO Choir (soprano), and Chamber Orchestra (violin). I love to learn and meet new people.
