Men feel triggered
When they hear the patriarchy
But if they stop and think
Women aren’t hating masculinity

They are calling out
The things that hurt them
They want the authentic men
To rise up and contain the vile within

Man with a strong woman
Both busy as can be
Little time for intimacy
Both drifting but in peace

Working hard to make herself more

She provided equally
She was the master of her class

Honey I have something to share
I know we are meant to be one
But I have sapphic desires

Western Man
Stoic and Strong
Knew he was missing something
To complete him
Make him whole

He studied the sciences
Conferred with the arts
Prayed to (the) God(s)
But found the answer
In a history book

Eastern practices
What a set of things
One can play
Hmmm let me try that
It seems hard
But…

Honey, I want to talk to you
About switching our roles
I have led our relationship
I have been liberated and have been a whore

I have harnessed your sex
I have done the darkest things to you
I enjoy seeing your submission
I get off on it too

But…
