Make Us All Equals  21st Century
 Stop telling others the change starts with them,   Girls are taught to cook and clean,
 When it can start with you,   While boys are out there living their dream,
 Don’t treat the women around you like minorities,   we don’t deserve to be treated inconsiderately,
 Without them you wouldn’t survive,   It’s the 21st century!
 Stop giving your employees unequal pay,
 Stop asking women if they’re married or not for “professional   We don’t need a man to lead our life,
 reasons,”   Because we are our own providers,
        We are our own selves,
 Stop telling women they need to cover up,   and we don’t require an opinion of anyone else.
 Stop asking them to change,
 Instead, Help them, Support them,   They say, she needs a man,
 And make us all equal.  But does she really?
        Stop telling us what to wear,
 Being a Woman is hard enough,   Stop telling us where to work,
 But you make it harder with your chatter,   Stop shaming us for our gender.
 We know when you talk about us behind our backs,
 “Ha! She’s a woman! She really thinks she can reach my level?”   We don’t need our husbands to protect us,
 Being who I am doesn’t make me vulnerable,   Nor our sons to defend us,
 The people who treat me unfairly do,   We are no less than males,
 The people who rape women make me vulnerable,   Support us, help us, rather than taunting us.
 The people who think catcalling makes me happy make me
 vulnerable,The people who give me looks without consent make   They say don’t walk alone at night,
 me vulnerable, Don’t be one of those people,   Why? we ask,
        Because it’s unsafe they respond,
 Be a feminist, help us, support us,   The past cases of sexual assault,
 And make us all equals.  Have restricted females from something as minor as walking
 Being a feminist is not just posting on social media   alone.

 Its being one when no one is watching   Help the women out there,
 Its helping the minorities that suffer everyday   Help them stand on their own feet without depending on a male,
 Its helping, even in the smallest ways   Help them believe in themselves and make new memories,
 To make this world equal and a better place   Because after all, it’s the 21st century.

 And making us all equals.
