The Afterpast Review

A Feminist Magazine

Feminist Manifesto by Takunda Nyika (Zimbabewe, 21)

10/28/2023

 
The history of all hitherto existing society
Is the history of women and the other one
Women who weld the world sitting on stools
And the other one who spoils it sitting on thrones

The female who is feline in heart
And the other one who wears a lion face
Women who are meek , responsible and considerate
And the other one, proud, arrogant and aggressive
​
Women who are mothers by role
And the other one, a father by biology
Women, whom in matrimony heed to social instincts
And the other one who in matrimony prefer animal instincts
        
                                                   Women, scapegoats of the other one's failures
                                                 And the other one, the creditor of feminine feat
                                          Equal not! Maybe later, she is more, listen, a WO! Man
                                         Wise and Orderly man, sharply contrasting the other one

                                                      A spectre is haunting the African lands
                                                 A sceptre of feminazi from and for a femdom
                                        Everywhere, she is exposing the other one's inefficiency
                                       Wavering her red shirts to the current Despicable Pyramid

                                                         The statue with beard is demolished
                                                   And not a dirge should we sing but a praise
                                            Yes maybe a few great men fell through their women
                             How about the billion common women who fell through few great men?
