To sit like a lady

For the women in the industry, persevere:

To sit like a lady & own the room needs presence, grace & the authority of a man Knees together & sit straight, Ankles crossed & red lips pursed lightly To sit like a lady & own the room, you musn’t smile too sweetly & threaten his masculinity Knees wide apart & shoulders slouched, swing a leg over the other & an arm over the back of my chair To sit like a lady & own the room, I sit like a man & bury my red lipstick away But maybe one day, darling You can sit like a lady & still be taken seriously, Your womanhood is power
