That opinionated woman

If you are an opinionated woman, you probably

Have been labeled as being angry

If you lean towards feminist ideology

Again, you are perceived as a woman angry

Because you are disgruntled with the status quo

Because you refuse to just go with the flow

Because the established order you dare to question-

You are a disrupter, you create tension..

*

If you feel strongly enough to form an opinion definite

It is often because the established order does not sit

Well with you, at a disadvantage it places you

You have a right to object against injustice, you certainly do!

And when you exercise that right, you come across

As intimidating and formidable, you leave men at a loss

As to how to deal with you, therefore you are labeled

An angry woman, with the insinuation that you are mentally unstable..

*

Therefore, if you are a woman who is well-informed and opinionated

It is important that your opinions are stated

In a manner even-keel, without emotions on display

They would still call you angry anyway

But at least you are not feeding into their narrative

More power to the powerful you don’t need to give
