Sacred virgins
snub the proud women
seeing them as weak,
as tainted.

Men see only such as whores,
but how they love them.
Who else would fulfill their lust?
They seek them out
because wives take them
for granted.

Men need women,
but women don’t need men.
So they label them,
one for children and flannel jammies,
the other for sex and entertainment.

Is one truly more worthy
than the other?

It has been said,
“There are wives and mothers
and aunts and lovers.”
Who are you?
Cannot you be both
and unashamed?

As far as needs go, we all have the desire or the human race would not be growing like it is. But women need a nest, a safety net for their lives and their children. Men need women for support and to verify that they are men. When there is love, it's wonderful. When there is not, it is business. Like your last stanza states. I see no reason why a woman can be all of those things and CEO as well if she sets it to mind.

My thing is. If a woman doesn't need a man, so don't bother with them. Do yo own thang. Simple. Why in the world do we have to keep harping on it. Brings back the sixties. Bah!

My walking around investigative skills tell me that most men do
need women, while most women also need men. The intensity of those needs is sorted out individually, but that is a minor distraction from you valid and well-stated observation: Be yourself, and be proud of it. Bravo, Danae!

Odin agrees that women don't need men. Hmmmm. My wife and daughter both know I'd take a bullet for them, and it is not that long since even in the developed nations our primary role was as protector.
And just this evening a loud scream emitted from the shower room. Grandad rushed through thinking some disaster has happened, arriving just as a sobbing ten year old emerged. "There's a giant spider grandad, a giant spider," Becky said. Grandad of course dispatched the beast which had a leg span about the size of a peach stone, to a better place. we still have our uses.
Good poem, but in Wales, the most Celtic of the British nations, there's an old saying, "A Welsh woman has to be a miser in the market, an epicurean in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom.
So in Wales at least the answer to your question is 'yes, you can be both.'

Isn't that what role playing is for, and don't forget, men can be virgins too.

I guess it all boils down to one's experience, for no one else can make the definition for us. Yes, I would agree partially with your thought that women don't need men, but I'd add to that, a man can add to a woman's life positively, if the carnal pursuit remains in perspective. As you've heard me express before, my belief is that sex is highly over rated, or perhaps over fictionalized.
