Modern Cults, Part II

You see the ones who claim women
are always victims evermore,
while at the same time claiming that
they’re always strong, to be adored,
push women to act more like men,
that strength must mean the masculine,
to be female you don’t have kids,
or dare do something feminine,
make crazy claims that men of old
conspired to keep women down,
ignoring that before the pill
women always had babes around,
young children who would starve to death
if no mother was there for her,
the me then didn’t hate women,
it was division of labor!
A man cannot feed a baby,
and outdoor jobs in days of old
took more force then most women have,
just to survive we played our roles.
Yet do feminists think of this
when they blather, ‘Patriarchy!’
Have they not seen, as they grow strong,
women keep getting less happy?
Do they stop to consider that
endless working is not a prize,
men have no choice in the matter,
and our reward is shorter lives.
The falling birthrates all around,
the broken homes and messed-up kids,
most of it can be traced right back
to all the things feminists said,
and after sixty years of this
do they step back, say, ‘We were wrong,’
of course not, they’ve become a cult,
and women so love to belong…
They age out towing all these lines,
everything bad, it’s all men’s fault,
end families and their own future,
it’s just a slow-motion death cult.

CONTINUES IN PART III.
