The price of being a woman
I saw this video on Facebook a while back. It is a poem called "Woman Card." It is a satire to advertisements in which it is selling the Woman Card aka just being a woman. It starts off saying that being a woman allows you to get away with things like being irrational, flirting your way into bars and out of speeding tickets. However, it comes with a price which 78 cents to the man's dollar, and 64 cents if you are a minority. It also has conditions such as feminine hygiene and other female products. It also points off if your card is color, then you will experience higher expenses and more oppression. It goes on to explain the injustices that women face and how it solely because they are women. This is a gag video, but it points out very prominent issues that women face in society. It also helps point out a serious issue in a way that won't offend people, which is good because many people get offended by feminism. Although it makes no sense because feminism is just wanting equality of the genders. However, many people don't understand which is why messages such as this must come in a light heard, joking manner.
