If I had a dick


If i had a dick,

maybe I could walk through a hall without being cat called.

maybe I could read in peace without a group of football players throwing sexual suggestions my way.

 

If i had a dick,

maybe i would get the same recognition for my performance on a calculus test as the boy next to me.

Maybe i wouldn't be called a bitch for being assertive.

Maybe I could express my frustrations without being discredited simple for it being "my time of the month."

Maybe I could be defined by my capacious wit rather than my cup size.

 

If i had a dick

Maybe my assaut wouldn't be attributed to the way i was dressed.

or maybe i could sleep with whoever i wanted, without the paranoia that life may be growing inside me.

 

If i had a dick

maybe i'd be considered a person.

what wishful thinking.
