Possibly Jung

Man and woman, one in the same, 
Beseeching seductions, provisions, and prosperous name.
Some may face struggle, while others maintain reign.
Quagmires discharged, with little to gain.  
Although impressive, a lifetime of masculine praise 
 does not surpass the mental struggle in which females prevail,
So please preform arrogant mussel portrayal,
 but I double-dog dare you to not go insane, 
 when beaten by father, and absent mother’s place blame.
