The poem explores the thief of suppression of women and their subjugation in. A patriarchal society. The poem talks about how women have to follow arbitrary rules laid down by the society just because they are girls. The poem talks about how the young girls have to survive their life by following the rules but if they were born a “boychild” they wouldn’t have to do any of it. The poem is also an expression of the rage and grief the poet feels. The poet is angry at the reality of the world which oppresses women from a young age and even if a girl survives the young age, she is not free. Rather, a girl will always have to follow the rules set against her by the male-dominated society.
