Savarna Feminism Plays Pin the Blame

Savarna feminism plays pin the blame
Why feminism calls me aggressive,
Says I’m too loud,
Too much attitude, too much sucking teeth?
Why feminism swings have privilege wrapped around?
Savarna girl is always right
And she gets to decide parameters of politically correct culture
She’s the queen of call out
With flick of a wrist, she gets to be the bouncer of all things feminist
She’s armed with The Print and OpIndia articles
My feminism is going to write a think piece
On why your feminism needs modification
Savarna feminism asks me a question
And then turns to the nearest Brahmin woman for validation
It’s almost as if my opinion is three-fifths of hers
Or if I should be used to having ideas shot down by Savarna people
It’s well known that I can’t stand Amish Tripathi
But why my feminism asks me to cry it down
Savarna feminism says, I’ve to support every woman having a platform
Even if it’s built off my back!
Savarna feminism only works for her own ego
Only to lift herself higher than the identities
That she profits off or writes poems about their pain
Citing solidarity as a source
Savarna feminism would protest in the tweets
Rather than the streets
She will lead class discussions on caste system
As she can put me down as a reference
She plays the ventriloquist if she can play in my skin
But I refuse to play games.
Why feminism swears she can’t be racist
When feminism goes to parlours for bleaching
And holds her arm next to mine for comparison
Sometimes for laughs, she wears a hijab
And colours herself with religious unity
Savarna feminism asks if I want to sit down and discuss my issues
As if anything has ever been given to a Muslim woman
As a result of sitting down and discussing
I know I’ve to bleed in order to show this world
That I’m a human too
Savarna feminism says, she wants to fight side by side
But what she wants is for my browner than brown behind to carry her uphill
So she can make a shield out of me for her subtle bigotry
Make me her token queer friend
Make me a target ready for her to pin the blame on me at any moment.
