She has moxie, she has spunk
Nouns both cute and feminine
A woman has moxie,
A man courage
A woman has spunk,
A man determination
A woman is aggressive,
A man assertive
A woman is controlling,
A man decisive
Language can be limiting
But I want equality
I'm not a bitch,
Just a tough bastard.

OMG,
This is sooooooooooooo true. I don't believe you are either of the last two lines here. You are a very astute and perceptive woman who is filled with much knowledge. Knowledge doesn't always make the person, it's what they do with that knowledge. You have chosen to use yours wisely and give back to others all that you have been taught. I say kudos to you for this endearing quality. From the short time I have gotten to read your work I am seeing more and more of the person inside of these writes every single day. Thank you for sharing another masterpiece with all of us and best wishes in the contest with this golden write. Love and God bless, Joyce

Amazing
A biting comment on moxie, double standards for women and today's society. You're a ballsy woman and that is a compliment! Best wishes in the contest. -
You're neither a bitch or a bastard, although I will admit you have a sharp tongue at times. Perhaps it is this double language standard that has prevented the USA from having women in positions of true power, something even Islamic Pakistan achieved 19 years ago. Keep it up. I love your outlook.

Ha, so true, very good play on words and perceptions! Good luck and thanks for entering the contest!
