My Name Is Not Babe

I really don’t think

your testosterone

powered senses of

entitlement are cute

and I dispute

your male privilege

to call me babe

just because I wear

a fucking dress.

It’s not charming

in all honesty

it’s alarming

that you think

it’s respectful

and acceptable

to speak to

a grown woman in

a derogatory way

to try to make them

feel in someway

charmed by a

pathetic and small

needy male who

in reality

is probably

a complete fail.

My name is not

fucking babe.

My name is not babe,

it’s not sweetheart,

chick, bitch or darling

and I am disarming

your hormonal

and chauvinistic right

because you think

I am a fucking skirt.

My name is not babe

It’s a creepy

and predatory

way to behave

and I am done

all the wanking

misogynists who

can’t even address

me by my fucking name.
