Sonya Renee — “What Women Deserve”
I had read the transcript of this powerful poem before, but never heard it spoken aloud. I just listened to it twice and it gave me chills both times.
Fuck yes, women deserve better.
"In the instances when POC say shit like ‘Oh I can’t stand white folk’ or ‘Damn white people’, they aren’t saying ‘Oh I think they are inferior, I want to humiliate them, abuse them, enslave them and wipe out their people!’, they’re saying ‘Damn, after a couple hundred years of white people thinking I’m inferior, humiliating me, abusing me, enslaving me, and trying to wipe out my people, I don’t wanna deal with them.’ The context is completely different."

Do you realize that in your fallacious attempt to “liberate” women from our make-up and high heels by proclaiming “I love natural/real girls” that you’re, in fact, enforcing the same patriarchal ideals you seek to destroy by assuming we do these things for you in the first place?

"Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions."
