Disobedient (free verse poetry series, ex-purity culture)
(Trigger, for misogyny and other related sensitive topics that can bring up uncomfortable memories of religious trauma)
Hi, so I started this awhile ago; taking so-called unholy, wicked or ‘disobedient’ women from the bible (+ Lilith) and just writing why being things like ‘proud’, ‘stealthy’, ‘strong’, ‘angry’, ‘selfish’, etc., and other qualities that a lot of us have likely been told are bad/wrong for women and girls have, may actually be a good thing. Only the other side, I also started including the women seen as good or ‘obedient’, and how they may actually suffer from the ‘godly’ qualities they’re typically praised for, and how they deserve better. I thought I’d share what I’ve got so far. And if you’ve got more names for me, do let me know!~
