No, it's not that we are 'anti-men'
It's just we care for the womb's bane.
It's not that we hate skinny girls,
The ones who are fair with perfect curls.

No, we cannot be termed as 'sexist'
Nor do we think of all men as 'rapists'.
 No, we don't ask women to divorce their husbands, kill their children and become lesbians,
We just ask them to be strong and better civilians.

No, this isn't to achieve any superiority or any blackmailing power,
But for every Nirbhaya, every Laxmi out there
Its a need of the hour!

For every woman who is a victim of domestic violence,
We just ask to break the trend of silence!
No, we ain't misandrists, trust me we ain't that dumb
For this is a fight not against all but yes against some!

Equality,not just in cooking and cleaning floors,
But also in pulling chairs and holding doors.
 
In this insane world,
where denying is mistaken as wanting,
shorts and minis considered as flaunting,

Where the word "women" is "fragile"
And "menstruation" is "dirty"
We need to create a domain,
Less prejudiced and more worthy.

In a world where marital rape is fine,
We aren't just fighting for the rights of a dyke,
But for a place where you have rights same that of mine.

For a realm free from gape and rape,
For a zone where we all feel safe.
So let us, come let us, redeem ourselves tonight,
For feminism is more of a revolution and less of a fight,
And tell me, just tell me
 how will we achieve it
without men by our side?
