Do Respect Women

Do respect women my friend
Because you're a consumable to them.
They are not a means to an end
Nor a self aggrandisement item.

A woman gets born into the world.
She has to see to her own future.
She does things to get fulfilled,
Including the approval of a suitor!

Steel is good because it's hard
When a hard material is needed.
But that's not the only standard.
Flower petals too must be heeded!

Yes, you have a mind my friend,
Also you have your desires
And a responsibility to defend 
These our sisters, daughters and mothers!
