What Irks Me

When I called Mitchell, "Girlfriend"


He thought it was mean


He thought it was rude


Then refused to talk to me.


 


"I'm gay, call everyone 'Girlfriend'.",


To myself, I muttered


Its just my alternative to "Bro" or "Man"


Thats when I started to wonder,


 


"To be called a women, and think it an insult,


Is just plain wrong


Because everyone knows


Women are strong."
