You say you want a girl who reads, One to satisfy your intellectual needs? A pretty girl with a book under her nose, Absorbed in a world of poetry and prose. How delightful. And let me guess, Cute glasses and a vintage dress? Coffee-shop chats and philosophizing? Well, come on now, that’s quite patronizing. Why not aim a little higher, dear? Maybe a physicist or an engineer? Or an activist with a political cause, Whose understanding is deeper than yours. Just reading novels is no real measure. What about solving equations for pleasure? You should try someone with a PhD. Or any kind of postgraduate degree. Of course, it’s not all about qualifications. It’s about new ideas and clever observations, Intellectual curiosity and exploring the unknown, Not being passive with some old books at home. And so by looking for a girl who likes to read, You’re actually implying that they’re a rare breed. Instead you should go and find yourself a feminist, To explain the term ‘gender essentialist.’ But of one last thing, let us be certain: Please don’t seek a ‘girl,’ seek a whole person. – Not_For_You
