The World Needs Bitches  
Imagine my surprise  
What I just read  
I can’t believe my eyes  
what was just said

The retort to a woman’s cry for her rights  
Witness below how bigotry bites  
“For Marry verily would wear the breeches  
God help poor silly men from such usurping bitches”

Take me back slightly before 1800  
To the time of this poets fame  
When equality first thundered  
Let me defend this brave dame

All alone was this brave soul  
Daring to stand up to this man  
While the world thought her tasteless and droll  
Her radical ideas have a timeless span

Although I cannot deny she had a mean streak  
She had every right to be bitter  
The future of women was looking rather bleak  
Thank God she wasn’t a quitter

The pen is mightier than the sword  
And Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned  
With it she fought off a presumptuous horde  
Yet for the sake of men she still secretly mourned

The world needed a total bitch  
To put straight these haughty boys  
To get humanity out of a glitch  
So she made a lot of noise

She kicked and screamed  
But in only the most dignified way  
For equality that she could have only dreamed  
I only wish how she could have seen us today

In a time when no one believed in human rights  
She helped start the process in which we all know  
In a dark room she turned on the lights  
Now human beings can grow

People once laughed  
Now our ignorance has shrank

For that, Mary Wollstonecraft  
Is the person to thank
