Women's Wiles for M 'lady Vanessa

Women’s Wiles

 

When boys are young then generally

 they are cared for by female kin.

But when approaching puberty

 the father figures then step in.

 

To instil masculinity

instruct them in the ways of men.

How to act independently

 and how to dominate women.

 

See women as inferiors,

who need to be kept in their place.

By men who are superior,

 this men will state with a straight face.

 

But women know it is not so.

Although they let the men believe

 that they admire machismo.

A woman’s way is to deceive

 

 the male who thinks his word is law.

In each and every way she can.

That’s what women’s wiles are for.

They can run rings round any man.

 

Though some men know few

will admit they are aware that women rule.

Most men are quick to deny it,

 which makes them easier to fool.

 

This women know instinctively.
So women usually get their way,

a sop to masculinity.

The only price they have to pay.

Hmmmmmmm, very interesting (and usually true) ;) write. Well done, I thought you were did a great job especially considering the subject matter. Acutally, it's not Always a womans way to deceive, in order run circles around a man. At least not in my case, I don't have to use my "wiles" or "deceive" my man, for any reason, he just loves me as I am, btw, some men are just as good at these things as women! LOL Good job my friend. :)
