Fight Like A Girl

In Celebration of the 10th anniversary of
Peace Over Violence's Annual Denim Day
I FIGHT LIKE A GIRL
I fight like a girl who refuses to be a victim
I fight like a girl who is tired of being
IGNORED AND HUMORED AND BEATEN AND RAPED
I fight like a girl who is sick of not being taken seriously
I fight like a girl who's been pushed too far
I fight like a girl who OFFERS and DEMANDS RESPECT
I fight like a girl who has a lifetime of
ANGER and STRENGTH and PRIDE
pent up in her girly body
I fight like a girl who doesn't believe in
FEAR and SUBMISSION
I fight like a girl who knows that
THIS BODY and THIS MIND ARE MINE
I fight like a girl who knows that
YOU ONLY HAVE AS MUCH POWER AS I GRANT YOU
I fight like a girl who will never allow you to
take more than I offer
I fight like a girl who FIGHTS BACK

So next time you think you can distract yourself from your insecurities by victimizing a girl
THINK AGAIN
She may be like ME, and
I FIGHT LIKE A GIRL.
