Society:
Men are disgusted by periods
'Ew, women bleed?'
Unlike the myriads
That arnt disgusted by rape
That act like women are tools
Like a car that needs fixing
Or like a dog who didn't folow the rules
The men who shout or hit or scream
The men who touch or smirk or ignore
We need to stop
We need to stop ignoring all these women
Who were pushed to the side for the core fact
That they are women
America I'd a living handmaid's tale
The right people arnt going to jail
Snd we ask why our economy is so depressed
While many are so suppressed
From the life they lead
And yet we heed
On why there's so much death

This poem is a powerful call for fairness that highlights the strange way society acts disgusted by natural things while ignoring real harm. Your use of simple, clear comparisons shows how women are often treated like objects instead of people, which makes your message feel very urgent and honest. To make the poem even stronger, you could try to make the rhythm of the last few lines match the fast, snappy beat of the beginning, but it's really good without that too!!
I love it so much!
