The Future is Female

I heard Amy Poehler speak at the White House

Her words hit me hard like a light bulb

Fictitious depictions of girls must die out

If we want to live in a world that triumphs

I am just talking about loving the femme

I ain't talking bout nobody else

Toxic masculinity has to end

I am just talking about loving ourselves

You can catch me singing these words

In a black Otherwild "Future is Female" t-shirt

Like AY! Me, I got something to say

Gender constructions just get in the way

I've been playing drums since I was like 8

The future is female, the future is great!

(Drum solo)

The future is female

The future is female

There's power in what you say

(In what you say)

Own your voice don't be afraid

(Don't be afraid)

There's power in what you say

(In what you say)

Own your voice don't be afraid

(Don't be afraid)

How could girly ever be an insult?

All the women I know are ones moving culture

What would happen if we all would lead with a little less aggression more femininity?

We have to value girls more than their looks

The biggest threat is a girl with a book

The system must make room for all that we do

We've been bleeding each month till we gave birth to you!

(Speech)

To me, "The Future is female" means that no longer will female qualities be subordinated to male qualities

I want to live in a world that is collaborative

A world that is emotionally intelligent

A world in which we are linked and not ranked!

The future is female

The future is female

There's power in what you say

(In what you say)

Own your voice don't be afraid

(Don't be afraid)

There's power in what you say

(In what you say)

Own your voice don't be afraid

(Don't be afraid)

The future is female

The future is female

The future is female

The future is female
