They want me to speak softly, dress in Lilly and drink iced tea.

They want me to wear Ugg boots, vote for Donald, and say "Killary."

They want me as a trophy wife to hang upon their arm, to bite my tongue and speak when spoken to, to learn a woman's role.

I'm white, I'm thin, I'm pretty, everything that I should be.

But I'd be better if I was silent, they'd like me if I wasn't me.

I'd talk aloud in hair salons about women I don't know, I'd defend the men who take my rights, and say it wasn't so.

I'd scoff that I had black friends as I locked my doors at night.

Why would a girl who looks like you think or feel or care? Why do you think of the world around you when you do not live there? You're up on top, with all the best, the slimy rich, white men who boast their success.

Don't talk about politics, race, religion or the Earth. Don't talk about animal rights or wear short skirts. Don't say free the nipple, black lives matter or mention equal pay,

You will be excluded from the Yacht Club's where we play.

Would you like me better if I followed what you say? If I'd "act my race" and "know my place" submission here is key.

They will all exclude you for believing what is right; the wealthy don't want to pay taxes and the poor have no food in sight.

Where rapists are the victims losing their college dreams, and the "slutty" girl they raped is tearing by the seams.

I could sit at your table, with not a colored friend in sight. I could be the girl you dream of, and have everything that's nice. I'd be rich and stay at home and be the perfect wife, I wouldn't care about those less fortunate because it doesn't affect my life.

"Help those who help themselves."

"Drug tests for welfare."

If the roles were switched around would you want me not to care?

I could be Melania Trump, and be the trophy on your arm. I'd talk to girls who looked like me and wear clothes that cost more than my phone. I'd fix dinner in the kitchen and tidy up the home.

I'd say things like "don't spread your legs" when talking about birth control, or perhaps I'd say nothing at all as that is what it screams.

For women to silence the oppression of women is a victim shaming tease.

I know "they're not all like that" and some conservatives are good, it's the "Christian thing to do" because the Bible says we should.

But would the man who broke bread with the peasants and gathered round the poor, would he nowadays say "get a drug test bum" hold up his gun and close his front door

Oh everyone would like me if I said the things they said, dressed the way they dressed and lived the way they live.

My morals aren't up to their standards and my opinion is a sin.

If I were conservative I'd live a normal life, I'd never be insulted, talked about or bashed, my face would be enough for people to want me in the room, hushed by my husband, as a smile fails to bloom.

If I were conservative then I'd be popular, I'd be in the big leagues and right up there with them all.

But the people down here are nicer, I'd rather be amongst the smalls.

Those who use their food stamps to buy sugar for their neighbor, those who's child befriends mine when her friends aren't behaving in her favor, those of different colors, religions, and cultures, so I can learn new things.

We'll rally for justice, women's rights, equality and speak on climate change,

If I was conservative I'd fit in, but I wouldn't be the same.
