Womem's wiles For M'Lady Tara

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.
