Be that woman
Try to be kind
And you are boring
Try to be strong
And you are annoying
Close yourself off
And you are bitchy
Make 'm laugh?
Try to be whitty
But not too much
That's arrogant
Listen to them
But be confident
Open up
But don't be too crazy
Be effortless
No, you look lazy
And stupid
And ugly
And whiny
And fake
And loud
And tired
Be real
Be you
The way we like it
And you are boring
Try to be strong
And you are annoying
Close yourself off
And you are bitchy
Make 'm laugh?
Try to be whitty

That's arrogant
Listen to them
But be confident
Open up
But don't be too crazy
Be effortless
No, you look lazy
And stupid

And whiny
And fake
And loud
And tired
Be real
Be you
The way we like it

Author's Note
Figuring out who you are is so much harder for girls. Because we have less room to move in. We are our bad traits always. Men are their good traits. That's unfortunately how the world works, for now atleast.

Don't worry about what others say or act, easier said than done. I've always thought the Woman's "playbook or rulebook" is much more complicated. To be fair, you ladies can be rough on each other too.
I love in your comment, ".... how the world works, for now at least."

There's a trace of autism in most men that undermines their cerebral flexibility. Girls are less prone to it which is why they are usually so much smarter than dudes.

That's really intersiting I did not know that. My poem was not just about how men perceive women, but also about how women perceive women. Internalized misoginy is real and subconscious.
