I Don't Apologize for My Feminine Rage

I started this piece on International Women’s Day. Every year I have celebrated this day joyfully. This year I felt nothing but rage. The state of the world, the state of politics has left me and most everyone else who has a vagina enraged.

I used to dampen my anger. I used to smile and say sorry and try to be gentle in what I was feeling without ruffling any feathers. Well fuck that!! I embrace my rage! My rage is justified. My rage speaks truth! My rage is inviting your rage to dance together until this whole patriarchy burns down and we get more than ONE FUCKING DAY to have our womanhood honored! Because it’s time we ruled this world and cleaned up the mess that centuries of patriarchy has left in its wake.
