Man VS Woman

In this age we fight…

Its seems more a battle between man and woman rather than equality,

For you only fight for women… and yet you ask for equal rights…

How can we be equal if you want all of the rights?

If you are allowed to have women only gyms, why can they not have men only gyms?

I heard yesterday that a woman was raped, but never saw the face of the man that was last week,

A woman was beat up by her ex-husband when they broke up, I know as it was all over the news,

A man was abused for years by his girlfriend, but a soul he could not tell for fear of being laughed at,

Well you women chant and rant about the horrible things, then men sit back not wanting to be caught in the ring.

So I will tell you now that when a guy opens the door for me I won’t see him as a man, I will look upon him as my fellow human.

hehe funny quite the way you stand up for men's rights...i'l best comment on the poem which seems to me light yet eye catching urging me to read on and know what you gotta say about the way men are treated...i like your poems for being short simple and for the choice that you make in the selection of your themes..always new and different..

This is a piece I've longed to read where the issue is really challenged. You did a very good job, and despite the fact I'm female, I agree with you a lot. Sometimes I found the rythm of the poem hard to capture but the point came out great.

[AWickedMoon]

Thank you. Ya the rythem was hard to get. :)

[Monster ^.^]

I couldn't agree more... at least you don't hold up against men the entire time! :))

I like what you have expressed. Truly we are different and IMO equality sucks, pardon my language, but it does. Women have strengths that differ from mens, it doesn't make them more or less, just different. IMO when a man and woman can come together as a unit both are stronger.

[AWickedMoon]

Very true. :)

Love the last line! Very valid as far as equality amongst the
human race no matter the race, sex, age etc- that is the good I take from this.

[AWickedMoon]

I'm glad. :)
