Driving to Work, I Think, What If I Were a White Man?

Liza Sparks

Would I be a nanny? Would I be a writer? Would I be a survivor of intimate partner abuse? Would I carry Mace? Would my therapist tell me to talk to angels? Would my boyfriend ask how many sexual partners I had before him? Would the man at the shoe store tell me to smile? Would the man at the bar tell me the same roofie joke? Would I shave my legs? Would I wear a bra? Would I use a menstrual cup? Would I pay out of pocket for a pap smear? Would my insurance cover a breast reduction? Would I experience side effects from birth control? Would I wear high heels? Would I paint my fingernails? Would I curl my eyelashes? Would I carry a purse? Would I worry my clothes were too revealing for work? Would I take my shirt off in public? Would I have $49,989.11 in student debt? Would I get bigger tips when I served tables? Would I know about the pink tax? Would I own stocks? Would I have a trust fund? Would I hate myself? Would I have a gym membership? Would I have an eating disorder? Would I have anxiety? Would I have depression? Would anyone ask me what are you? Would I have imposter syndrome? Would I cry when I felt like it? Would I be angry? Would I want to be in the military? Would I tell my friends I loved them? Would I hit women? Would I open doors for women? Would I be a feminist? Would I be straight? Would I be polyamorous or monogamous? Would anyone call me a bitch? Would anyone call me a slut? Would anyone tell me to calm down? Would anyone tell me I was making it up?
