I had a niece named Karen who
at twenty has mapped out a plan
for a 'strong, independent life',
she’d be 'dependent on no man.'

And, oh, she took such pride in that,
her college had made her this way,
but badmouthing men for the past
seems quite dumb, so I had my say:

“While I cannot disagree that
women once needed men to survive,
or even that it was dependence,
but with perspective you will find

“that woman may have needed men
to have a good supply of cash,
if you look closer at marriage,
it’s far more complicated than that.

“While the women back then had to
be quite dependent on their men,
the man then were dependent too,
quite dependent on their women.

“If a man want to have a home
that was even worth inhabiting,
he could not do this on his own
when out for twelve hours working.

“There simple wasn’t time enough
when out all day plowing things up,
if a man didn’t have a wife
he’d have little more than a hut.

“And then there also are children,
the only way most men live on,
few are writers or geniuses,
so who recalls us when we’re gone?

“They were dependent on women
not just to make the kid exist,
but to mold that man’s dear child,
to teach them to live and persist.

“To take the soul you value most,
then entrust it to another…
Men were totally dependent on
the woman they chose as mother.

“Also consider the fact that men
are wired to show love through sex,
just like romance is for women,
and though this leaves some ladies vexed,

“it’s how men are put together,
for guys to give and receive love
they again rely on women,
without them their emotions get rough.

“In nations where men can’t get this
their aggression will destabilize
the society around them,
they depend on women to survive.

“So don’t say this goes all one way
when you whine about dependence,
honestly, is seems that we are
engineered to be compliments.”

I hoped she’d find some use for this,
but I guess, for now, I was wrong,
she huffed and stormed out of the room,
the indoctrination is strong.
