He would have me wear a crown
designed by misogyny to bear witness
I am his queen of the kitchen.
I did not taste an apple to wear an apron
or have my eyes opened to be blinded
by a book of submission.
It is not a sin to rebel against tyranny.
Knowledge of my feminine freedom
is the power a weak man fears.

So true. There is so much tyranny around right now, it is hard to stay upright. But our strength is stronger than their mysogyny.
