Take This and be Grateful

It's International Women's Day, babe.
Put down that basket of laundry,
And watch as the bishops say women
Aren't fit for their jobs, as the imams
Say don't leave your house on your
Own, as the crackers say, “Darlin'
Don't dare kill those babies,”
And, somehow, you don't qualify
For promotions. Maybe that's because
You flinch when you're groped.
You should lay back, relax, and accept
What you're given: this one almost
Meaningless day.
