men matter- written by a girl

Let me tell you a story, about a special little girl who defied all the odds in the

world

Once upon a time 

There was a slender woman

Graceful yet grand

It was her mind that wielded a sword 

But being who she was, when and where she was

Her duties were limited to serving a man, being his wife, bringing honor to her family

But unfortunately this girl wanted more

She was made for more

Destined for more 

So one day when the Hans invaded and the emperor commanded her father to fight

She decided no more 

And that it was time her fists wielded a sword

But when she escaped into the dark ashes of the night

She realized she was signing up for far more than she anticipated 

But see, she had a little dragon by her side

And a cricket, don't forget

So this little girl set out into the world to find a camp full of men

Men who were training to fight for their emperor

And she was no different

But when she began her training she realized how much she needed to improve

To strenghen and build and break her limits to the ground so she could touch the sky

And oh did she touch that sky

She beat the hans, beat them right out of her sky

And she proved that women deserve everything a man deserves 

But, not more

That's not what the story of Mulan is about

It isn't about breaking men down

It's about bringing women up

It wasn't to say women are better

It was to say they are equal to men

And that's what feminism is 

Men matter

And so do women

And there is no supreme gender

We all wear crowns

It is the women who claim otherwise that lead to the men who claim otherwise that lead 

to the world collapsing 

See, Mulan didn't do it alone

She had men by her side

And the men couldn't have done it without a woman by theirs

If a feminist is anti-men, they are no feminist
