Exceptional Women should be treated as equals How To Treat A Woman by Carole Hannan      For International Women's Day 2024 Contest Winner

Don't boss her, or cross her Or toss her aside Just hear her, revere her And stand by her side   Don't ask her to bask in The glow of your light Just glory in her story And share the spotlight   Don't cheat her, defeat her Her dignity batter Make sure that you treat her As though she, too, matters   Don't use her, abuse her Or ever be cruel Respect her, protect her She's not to be ruled   Don't hurt her, desert her Or treat her like dirt Let go of your ego Acknowledge her worth   Don't blame her, or shame her Or call her coarse names Just sleep with her, weep with her Deep down you're the same     For International Women's Day 2024 Contest Winner Author Notes I grew up in a time when women were not treated with respect, but had started to demand it. So much has changed since then. I am grateful for those women who stood up for equal rights.
