Where a woman pretends to be weak
So that a man can believe he is strong
Where a woman pretends to be foolish
So that a man can say he is wise
Where a woman stoops
So that a man can conquer.

where gods of men
Become worshippers of women
Where leaders of thought
Become minions Of the bleeders of blood
Where wielders of power Succumb to power.

Is tamed by the wiles of femininity
Where the turgid Becomes the flaccid
