I Wish I Were a Man So I Could See What Freedom Feels Like

Just for a day or two

I wish I were a man so people would stop judging me for choosing travel over marriage and children.

I wish I were a man so others would not think I’m flirting just because I’m being polite.

I wish I were a man so people would stop telling me my clock is ticking.

I wish I were a man so other men would stop interrupting me.

I wish I were a man so I could lick an ice cream in peace.

I wish I were a man so I could wander the streets at night without a care in the world.

I wish I were a man so people would ask me about my hobbies.

I wish I were a man so I wouldn’t have to think twice before staying in a remote place.

I wish I were a man so it wouldn’t even cross my mind that there could be hidden cameras in my hotel room.

I wish I were a man so people would stop telling me to lower my standards.

I wish I were a man so taxi drivers, tour guides and street vendors would not flirt with me and make me feel uncomfortable when all I want to do is have a good time.

I wish I were a man so others would stop raising their eyebrows if I dare to…
