Explore 7: A poem on womanhood and sports

What makes me a woman?

I can cook

clean

care

comfort

Be everything society tells me to be

What makes me an athlete?

I can run

jump 

cheer

dive

pat my teammate's backs

What makes me a woman athlete?

Now that's a different story. 

They push me into a corner and 

examine every inch of me

Who cares about my level of sportsmanship

If my levels of testosterone are too high? 

Who cares about my ethic?

Who cares about my drive?

I am constantly reminded that this is a man's world

Until I become too masculine
