TSL, Prompt 13 June 13 Comrade of Radical Feminism by Kabir Deb

Comrade, where should we start?

Comrade, don’t try to fit in, be yourself 

Comrade, don’t follow the canons 

They were made to condition your behaviour 

Comrade, don’t be aggressive, be assertive

Say what you mean, not to please your interlocutor 

Comrade, don’t be bossy, become a leader

Try your best, Show what you’re made of

Comrade, don’t lie down, keep fighting

Accept you may lose some battles

Comrade, don’t follow others, blaze your trail

Achieve your own worthy goals and dreams

Comrade, don’t believe, doubt everything you’re told

Comrade, don’t be meek, dare instead

You don’t let a gender divide define you 

You are a human being

Comrade where do we start

Don’t sacrifice yourself, assume yourself!
