Do not assume...

Yes, I Have a Penis...

Do not assume (if I hold the door for you),

that I am making a statement

about your inabilities

to open the door for yourself.

If you hold it for me,

I'll say 'thankyou'.

Do not assume (if I pay for the meal),

that I am underestimating

your earning capacity

as a woman.

If you invite me out for a meal,

you're paying.

Do not assume (if I defend your rights),

that I am belittling

the attempts that you have made

to defend your rights yourself.

If you defend my rights,

I'll consider you human.
