To the aggressive catcaller on Broadway:
Boy,
I’m a feminist,
and that word carries no shame
for me.
I have tiny fists
that can hit like a girl.
I’ve sent men running
with the crack
of one delicate knuckle.
Better,
I’ve quaked boys and girls
with one word,
one look,
and I don’t need you for power.
Honey,
I was born with power.
Boy,
I’m a feminist,
and that should shame you–
that I have to be.

Woo Hoo! Power to the nth!
I LOVE THIS! {yes, I meant to shout}
Catcallers all should hear your wrath!
Honey,
I was born with power.
A reversal of the usual Honey!
