Feminism
By Shelley Bruce
Betty Friedan came and went
Simone de Beauvoir is spent
A second wave lashes the shore
Helen Reddy begins to roar
Betty Friedan came and went
Simone de Beauvoir is spent
The second sex is a precept
Patriarchy will be reset
Women's rights is not a pause
Root and branch this is their cause
Betty Friedan came and went
Simone de Beauvoir is spent
Burning bras becomes a fad
Men think this is mad
Women cleave the sexes apart
Feminists think this is smart
Betty Friedan came and went
Simone de Beauvoir is spent
Feminism is never humble
Five decades is not a mumble
Success alters their agenda
Sexism displaces gender
Betty Friedan came and went
Simone de Beauvoir is spent
