Our reproductive souls, Are so much more than that. We are equal humans, Wearing a variety of hats. From doctors, scientists, Mechanics, and lawyers, To college professors And military soldiers, No longer the days, When women should be, Only baby factories for their families. Our brains are quite brilliant, And our hands very skilled. As we work towards a future, That we valiantly build. Strong in our minds, And our bodies too. I know, we know, Now if only you knew, That these, “Reproductive souls of society” Will no longer have to, Battle defiantly. Towards misconstrued beliefs, And harmful ideology, Of religious dogma’s, Fictitious anthropology. We are talented women, With a very bold mission. Which goes far beyond, Solely parturition. (Listening to the Lars Larson radio program on 4/25/17 around 12:30. A caller called in to talk about the Manchester bombings and talked about how sad it was because, “Women and girls are the reproductive souls of our society.” When we define women as reproductive souls, we define them by their ability to bear children—something that could not happen without men. But I have yet to hear men spoken of in such a way.)
