A Conversation: Explaining the Patriarchy to a ‘Mansplainer’


well. I’d like to get a word in edgewise.

but i’m afraid it is a futile effort.

akin to how a racist
is always the first
to proclaim they are not racist,

a ‘mansplainer’ raises his voice
to declare his support for women’s rights.

directly after cutting them off
in a conversation
about their own bodies.
