I enjoy being a girl

trouble is outbursts, dramatics, fuckJme-cum-Lns, and god help

us, lacey lettered poems slushy in adolescent morbidity, skip 'em,

i am a girl, an eleven year old girl, we are hard to handle, oppressed

man, have been strong-armed into dropping entire dress rehearsal

by the onset of the menarche. i may be middle-aged but i still

bleed. you don't find many eleven year old girls around ever

after, but here’s the giveaway:

will not give herself away

is tomboy cute, sweet, naughty, innocent, submissive, nervy,

and above all obnoxious riffing name-calling scoffer. that’s it.

ready for the mind-fuck?

how to spot a womon:

N ejaculate on face (out damned spot!)

N supreme sex in giving and relishing misery

N faker, smokeless tobacco

N non-violent killer in the house

N emotional guide suppressive of emotional expression

N mystery-destroyer

N shirker of existential dictate: BE, incompetent usurper of male role: DO

N is uncomfortable in own body, but too stupid to take the stick out of her ass

N does not know how to fight, b/c do not know how to fuck

N wears potato sacks bought from saks

N non-waiter, untrue to her nature; babies take a long time to come out, clockwatcher

N bastards like you take even longer to call back

N hates herself, thinks this makes her special

N advocates change via macho imitation VERSES womanly inspiration

N will turn her back on you for the sake of an idea, always stolen, never original

N speaks in argot, womyns’ ways of knowing nothing:

Ø heteropatriarchy

Ø rape culture

Ø testosterone poisoning

Ø phallocracy

Ø the male gaze

Ø abelism

Ø handicapable

Ø backlash

Ø coming to voice

Ø separatism

Ø the courage to heal

Ø intercourse=rape

Ø connected learning

Ø genderic

Ø transgressive

Ø gynergy

Ø herstory

Ø transformation

Ø goddess

Ø diva

Ø womanist

Ø female divinity

Ø empowerment

Ø reclaim

Ø alice walker (please!)

Ø take back the night

Ø the personal is political

Ø victim class

Ø the journey

Ø the rage

Ø male identified womyn

Ø abortion on demand and without apology

Ø projection, example: whore/madonna complex, big male sin. Ask her what she thinks of Madonna Ciccone.

where did I find this shit?

everywhere, including tax-supported public school textbooks.

last word (really) from

Amazons, A Feminist Dictionary (Kramarae and Treichler, Harper/Collins 1992)

definition of girl:

“a word used to imply childishness, dependency, conformity,

purity, delicacy, non-aggressiveness, and non-competitiveness.

…used by people who have a need to see wimmin in narrow non-threatening, or diminutive terms….undoes any implications of status, authority, and true seriousness of purpose….most red-blooded women find the term offensive….the harm done may be deep and long-lasting…”

Shakespeare for Lotties:

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
