Men, womanly? No.
We will never be your equal.
We, men, are higher.

There's a reason for
the rape. Abuse. Violence.
It is always your fault.

Don't go out at night.
Don't wear provocative skirts.
Don't drink – it's not cute.

How's your low-paid job?
Hearing you shout, jerk, asshole;
Don't be a slut, b****.

You will fall into.
Me, at the club, drunk and dumb
you speak yes, but no.

This isn't my fault.
You consented to my hands,
on slim thighs, smooth breasts.

You're in the gutter;
those drugs intoxicate you,
short skirt, slurring words.

Great poem! I think it's a real eye-opener for some people on how women are treated.
