 Fitting Challenge

"If the shoe doesn't fit, must we"

"Change the foot?" the question was asked

By Gloria Steinem, as she

Argued the system too long tasked

All types of folks to fit into

Patriarchal expected role

Of one unfairly rigid shoe,

And mangling feet to fit that goal.

Folks, especially women, need

To take the system shoe as made,

And change the whole of such indeed,

With inclusive fairness displayed.

And Steinem showed how that shoe could

Conform to female feet for good.
