I fight like a girl who refuses to be a victim. I fight like a girl who is tired of being IGNORED and HUMORED and BEATEN and RAPED. I fight like a girl who's sick of not being taken seriously. I fight like a girl who's been pushed too far. I fight like a girl who OFFERS and DEMANDS RESPECT. I fight like a girl who has a lifetime of ANGER and STRENGTH and PRIDE pent up in her girly body. I fight like a girl who doesn't believe in FEAR and SUBMISSION. I fight like a girl who knows that THIS BODY and THIS MIND are mine. I fight like a girl who knows that
YOU ONLY HAVE AS MUCH POWER AS I GRANT YOU.
I fight like a girl who will never allow you to take more than I offer. I fight like a girl who FIGHTS BACK.
So next time you think you can distract yourself from your insecurities by victimizing a girl, THINK AGAIN. She may be ME and
I FIGHT LIKE A GIRL.

NOthing wrong with fighting like a girl as long as you can kick some ass. Very good poem there. I seriously loved it, but this one I had 2 move to the feminist poems because 1. That poem is also more one that stands up for womens right and 2. That one is little on rape, more on standing against images of how women are. Anyways, very very good poem, good womanifesto you have written there babe, excellent.

I really loved this piece. Gives me hope and makes me feel powerful being a girl. In reality, we have more power than is spoken of. We hold the keys to life but short-minded people do not see this. I'm glad you posted this, well done again =)

This is great, this poem remindsme of me, its very well written! I've had 2 boys say I'm more like a boy than a girl because I don't like being stereotyped and all my friends know not to get on the wrong side of me 'cause I'll kick their ass, lol, great write!!
