If our president were a mother, would we still send our sons to war?
Can a father know the same kind of loss—
having never carried a child inside his body,
never birthed another human into being?
Then again, I may be naïve.
A woman who has borne a child is as likely to be bought as a man who has not.
Perhaps she is even more susceptible—
compelled to prove she is harder than a man,
that she has earned this seat.
