Ain't I a Woman

Alright, so from what I can tell this poem is about racism and feminism. Wow. Okay. Way to be creative. Right so the first stanza is stereotypes on how guys are expected to treat women. Because feminists are totally okay with having the opposite sex telling them what to do. So the next two stanzas are about how she can do everything a guy can do and then asks ain't I a woman. Mixed messages much? Do you want to be treated like a man or a woman because I am not going to help someone over a mud puddle and then ask them to plow a field because if they can plow a field they sure as hell can cross over a puddle by themselves and if they can't cross a little puddle themselves what makes you think they can plow a field. The last stanza was very religious. But technically it was Mary and an angel and not God. And even if it was God then Christ would still have been from a "man" and woman since later on in the Bible and all Jesus refers to God as Father. So unless you go calling your mom father I suggest finding a better argument. It is true that the first woman turned the world upside down, at least it is in the Bible. I just do not see it as an accomplishment as much as the author does. The author thinks that since one woman could turn the world upside down, many women could turn it right side up but I don't know. If one woman screwed up the simple task of do not eat that fruit I wonder what a bunch of women could screw up. For those of you who don't know, God created Adam and afterwards created Eve and they were in the so called Garden of Eden. God then told them they could eat any of the fruit from any of the trees except that one tree. So what do you think they did? Yep they ate the fruit and end up betting banned from the garden. And that sums up the first three chapters of Genesis. So Eve kind of screwed like everyone over with that fruit because that was the birth of Original Sin which is bad if you couldn't figure it out. The author basically said that if one woman could change the world that much a bunch of women could change it even more. The argument would've been way more reassuring if, you know, she used an example that involved a woman changing the world for the better and not oh I don’t know screwing over like all of the people. Just saying. I bet you Adam never took Eve to another garden after that incident. I feel like the author of this poem really needs to figure out where she stands on the topic and should write so readers can understand her because she spent two stanzas saying I can do everything a guy can do and then asking why won't people treat me like a woman? Well maybe it's because you act like a man? I don’t know. And as a reader, I can tell you that if one person of a group could flip the world upside down I am not trusting the same group to flip it right side up because what if they mess up? Again. The world wouldn't be flipped it would be spinning every which way and that does not sound healthy. I think I'm fine with figuring it out myself. You've done enough to help thank you and goodnight.
