RE: #TeamGirlPowa Poetry Contest: Feminist Fire!
I just want to personally add that i feel blessed that @tessaragabrielle @shawnamawna @rachelhanson are cool with judging/hosting this controversial yet very very essential theme!!
As a woman who tends to be more aggressive yet stuggles with desires of being liked, understood , and respected...as well as debilitating depression, anxiety, and impulse control
It means so much to me. I know this is THE fear of so many women and maybe some men in a different way-- that we will be labeled "angry feminist" "crazy sjw" or "nasty women" among other things.
The question is how to channel and give space to these words that detail the depths of our experience with levels of oppression whether you are a non-macho male whos bullied gor being in touch with his sensitive side, a nonbinary person who tired of being dismissed by both sides, or any variety of woman who has pain and anger that you need to work through--- this contest is open for you.
Do not let yourself be silenced. Do not silence yourself.
