What men are...

Men are black suits

Business and

Control

Are power

And blue

And head-of-tables

They are leaders

And geniuses

And entrepreneurs

Are builders 

And drivers

And money-makers

Are responsible 

And dedicated

Are persuasive

They are wiser

Bolder

Finer

Worthy and

Right

Are carriers

And successors

And kings

Are workers

And witty

And loud

This is men.

What women are...

Women are spring flowers

Flowing dresses

Pink

Short skirts

Are perfume 

And makeup

And long hair

Are gentle

And dim

And careless

They are dotted aprons

Sweet voices

Sexy

Household chores

Wash the dishes

Vacuum

And cook

Women are mothers

And gossipers 

And nannies

They are quiet

And obedient

And brisk

High strung and pushy

Neat and skinny

Smiles and pretty

This is women.

What it is like to be female:

Some countries you can be beaten for just walking alone

The history books do not mention you

Some parents do not want you

You can be sold for the pleasure of men--

Some schools do not let you in--

Kids is your only reason for existence--

You will always be outdistanced--

By a man...

What it is like to be female:

For instance--

You body becomes a distraction--

Your abilities are only a fraction--

Of a man’s...

Your intelligence becomes lesser--

Your interests should only be about what’s in the dresser--

You are raped

And discouraged

And harassed--

And your life is many times harder

in contrast--

To a man’s...

Tears become weakness--

Focus on your sleekness--

Math becomes too tough--

Nothing is ever enough--

You are simply a wife--

This isn’t your life--:

It’s a man’s...

You’re ignored--

Adored--

Implored--

Stupid-- and

Persistent--

Muted-- an

Assistant--

Nothing but an ornament--

An adornment--

To a man...

What it is like to be female:

You are shoved from the way
