What I Would Change- Submittion


I would change the way the world treats girls. 

I would change the fact that Malala got shot in the head for wanting education. 

I would change the fact that a man who sexualizes his own daughter is pegged to be in charge of an entire nation. 

I would change the fact that when I was six years old, a man whistled at me while I was in my school uniform. 

I would change the fact that I begin to get fearful when men begin to swarm. 

I would change the fact that women sometimes have no voice when a man enters. 

But there are things I wouldn't change. 

I wouldn't change the reassuring smile of a fellow woman who helps another apply make-up. 

I wouldn't change the women who are raising money and awareness to those in the Middle East. 

I wouldn't change the women who are noteable in media speaking out about feminism. 

I wouldn't change the fact that feminism is becoming more inclusive to our transitioning sisters. 

I wouldn't change the fact that although sometimes it's difficult, 

being a women means being a fighter, and that's all I know how to do.
