Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

the future is female

We are strong.

We are smart.

We are brave.

We are hope.

We are bold.

We are dedicated. 

We aren’t appreciated for who we are.

We can do so much more than they limit us to.

We can prove everyone wrong.

We are mighty warriors.

Women can do anything men can. 

We can write songs and poems and books

and make changes to history for the better.

We can love things that are ‘only for boys.’

We can do anything.

I tell you, we are the future.

Call me crazy,

but the future is female.

Sorry, guys.

Some time back Elle I wrote in a personal correspondence that the future was female; the future was Asian, l stand by that.

Elle - why aspire to everything men can? Have we been so brilliant down the years?

I like the poem Elle, but I believe the future is together not alone.

Thanks,

I'm not quite sure how to take your meanings here Elle. You are not crazy. You. like me, might have a bit of mix-up-in-head at times but we are not crazy. Put yourself up on our screens whether we like it or not.

I can see your plea for women to take their proper role in society but I disagree with your line 'women can do anything men can'. Women can do some things men can't (even better) and vice versa.

The future doesn't lie in one gender alone Elle but a blending of strengths of both. A give and take. Was it Shakespeare who would say 'Aye there's the rub' ? Bard experts help me here...

You are not crazy
But the future is bigender
Sorry Elle

All that aside I liked your poem. ?
