Oppression of Women

 Just take a good look at me;
My frame is attractive!
It does the unsated
appetite of the chauvinist
fuel.
My curves and your fantasies
are mutually inclusive!
Without them, dreams
are truncated.
But I am an orgasmic
symbol.
The self opinionated chauvinist
designs me in his sub-conscious
to serve and be utterly subservient.
I am incarcerated as a chef,
and timeless baby sitter.
A baby machine for a
patriarchal dynasty.
My education is a threat to chauvinist ego.
My ignorance hones his misogynist confidence,
whilst my erudite head
retards his self esteem and worth.
The illiterate orgasmic symbol is his
ideal and virtuous woman.
The smarter and more professional
is the age-old Jezebel.
My chastity and virginity
are twin virtues of a
mutilated genitalia.
My restrained sex urges are
designed for his unrestrained
proclivities and gratification.
I must be restrained,
for him to be unrestrained,
because, share him I must
with two or three others of
my kind.
But take another good look at me,
and see a versatile womb-man!
Translate each prejudice of yours'
and see my remarkable antonyms.

 Reviews of "The Unappreciated Woman"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on October 15, 2023
In every male there comes a time when raging hormones began to differentiate women according to their ability to have children… Not necessarily to be a lifelong companion. Your poem describes that primal urge that some men are able to overcome and many are not.

With each new century, women are gradually becoming aware of their power and being included more and more in society, even in societies that have been paternal for nearly forever. I believe our society's survival depends on the equality of genders as we move into the 22nd century from this one.
