Lilith

The female named Lilith is not
a woman with whom to be caught.
Lust she induces.
Fools she seduces,
for she’s beautiful and she’s hot.

This Lilith’s a demon, they say -
a feminist icon today.
What stupidity.
No validity
can be found for this myth anyway!

Andrea, OMG, too funny. You certainly came down hard on this particular myth. I think I can understand why. It wouldn't be so bad if men could behave and not be swept away by looks. Biologically, there's some kind of brain hit (like with an addictive drug) that external beauty in a woman can induce in a man's brain. We have to learn to control these addictions, but it's hard not to stare, for example. This is such an interesting topic!!
