I fight like a girl who refuses to be a victim. I fight like a girl who’s tired of being IGNORED and HUMORED and BEATEN and RAPED. I fight like a girl who’s sick of not being taken seriously. I fight like a girl who’s been punished too far. I fight like a girl who offers and demands respect. I fight like a girl who has a lifetime of ANGER and STRENGHT and PRIDE Punt up in her girly body. I fight like a girl who doesn’t believe in FEAR and SUBMISSION. I fight like a girl who knows that YOU ONLY HAVE AS MUCH POWER AS I GRANT YOU. I fight like a girl who will Never allow you to take more than I offer. I fight like a girl who fights back. So, next time you think you can distract yourself From your insecurities by victimizing a girl, THINK AGAIN! She may be ME and I FIGHT LIKE A GIRL. "Not everyone can be heros. Someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they pass by." Will Rogers |

There are battles and then there are wars. I think old fashion, if it comes to terms that any girl has to fight then every boy never figured out there manhood ... I like your "spunk"! Ct |

Great poem! I have been a victim before at the hands of a man and instead of cowering away I also learnt how to fight like a girl. Too often women accept that they are weak when we really decide our strength and our position in life. |

My wife use'd to tell her x husband, "If you hit me, you had better not go to sleep in this house because you will never wake up". He wized up. Oh, and she got out. I like tough girls that know how to be soft. Nice write. Tracey. |

BBrider - Men should never forget that often in the animal kingdom the female of the species does the hunting. When she fights like a girl, remember she kills like a predator. Males who under-rate the female ferocity usually end up paying a ferocious price for such miscalculation . Love your work here BBrider. Namyh |

I try not to fight too much anymore but if push comes to shove and my back is up against a wall then I will use whatevers at hand. However, I like being a girl. I like being soft and cuddly but I won't be walked on. "Not everyone can be heros. Someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they pass by." Will Rogers |
