xx / xy

man up
grow a pair
grow some balls
don't be a pussy
you hit like a girl
are you PMSing or something
?
are you on your period
?

why is it that
boys do something--
say, a dare--
when they're
called a
pussy
?

she asked
and i couldn't respond

what was i
supposed
to say
?

that she
was at a disadvantage
because she had two x chromosomes
?

that she
was at a disadvantage
because she did not have one x chromosome
and one y chromosome
?

i couldn't have just said
"your life is harder
because you're a girl"

we've got
"girl power"

does that pale
in comparison
to
"man power"
?
