How to become a woman?

How to become a woman?

A Poem by Ambika
"

A guide to be an ideal woman.

"
How to be a woman?
Dress decently. Society says.
What is decent?
Skirts below the knee.
Shorts is a no-no.
Don't show your body to the world.
It is alien enough to turn heads.
Hang around women.
A man and a woman can't be just friends.
Don't be funny or sarcastic.
It tickles men's insecurities.
Drive cars irresponsibly.
Women are stupid beings.
They can't control machines.
Let your bosses flirt with you.
Because it's no big a deal.
Don't eat the whole pizza, sweetie.
You don't want to get fat.
You must look appealing for men to want you.
Put your make-up on.
Starve yourself.
Love babies and have them before you turn thirty.
Don't make a career for yourself.
Let men take charge of you.
And that is how my friend, you become a woman.
