Could I speak?

I wouldn't call myself a feminist, not really...but i do know my rights and of speech is one i don't like messed with. I am not the talkative kind either but when something needs to be addressed, rest assured i will address it. I am all for women and their right to speech, we are in the 21st century and i believe any woman as much as any man deserves a say.
That said, I don't believe women should not have a say when a man is speaking, not speaking like catching up, I mean when there's a misunderstanding and the man is doing all the talking. I get defensive most times in arguments, not in a guilt trip kind of way but in an emotional way. I get so engrossed in putting my point across, i usually even forget the environment and who it is i am arguing with.

Take for example my old man, I wouldn't call him a male chauvinist, but he is hella old fashioned. What he says goes, no arguments no nothing. While growing up of course you'd be a little scared and all you were taught is to obey your parents which i still do. Nowadays any time we get into a heated discussion, he thinks I am being disrespectful and my mum could even ask me to stop talking back. The more i try to explain, the worse it gets, cause sometimes i just don't know when to bite my tongue and call it quits.

If you ask me though, i don't think i am talking back. And i don't get why i can't just put my point across.
I always loved debates in High School, and the back and forth always excites me. Start an argument, i'll finish it for you. I am not good with fists maybe that's why my tongue is endowed. I don't start drama but i sure as hell can finish it. I don't take shit(pardon my french) from anyone, not especially men. Call me sexist if you want...

If you say the wrong thing, i will definitely call you out on it and it might get ugly especially if you get loud. If you haven't seen that side of mine yet, you're probably a darling and haven't said the wrong thing to me just yet. If I walk away, you're just not worth it.

Later..xoxo!
