she’ll be right mate

plying females with manmade bait ~ is not an animalistic trait 

beasts instinctively lie in wait ~ a misogynist will dope its date

Thanks David, you do point out the difference between drugging of women (commonly done for sex) or that of an animal, which would attack any prey directly. Makes some of us men look pretty shabby. I'm glad I've never drugged anyone. It's puts some men pretty low on the chain. Smiles!!

Oh course the vast majority of men are decent Duke, and will try chat up a date, the misogynistic ones will go to any lengths to try sedate and defile what they see as easy prey, this one was meant more metaphorically than figuratively, but gets the message across nonetheless, cheers again, David

Your words work so well as a general observation of some men v most beasts. With beasts tendencies being generally the more noble and honest than those of the worst of men, so bravo, David. However, I see some knobhead (oops, I mean misguided person) has inspired this write. As ever, I missed out on the causal event, but it seems that makes me the lucky one. Terry

Ah you didn’t miss much to be honest Terry, just the usual big bloated right wing propaganda, the majority of people here called it out for what it is, I perhaps went for the jugular like a beast! Lol! Thanks so much, cheers David

I am going through all your comments and I seem to be missing something. Anyway. Just to comment on the poem I see here, I think it's good. Man can certainly be more emotionally offensive than animals ever could be. By door it's date, I am thinking rape date drug?

Oh just trying to separate some guys from the beasts Andrea, turns out (some guys) are the worse option, and are only on this planet to demean women with toxicity or (dope)! Cheers David

Aren't they brave those keyboard warriors firing salvos from behind a screen. We live in an equal world, I'm sure any normal person would agree. Tom

You're a man who has always been respectful of women, defensive of their honor, and I appreciate you for those and many other reasons, David. Beastly men belong in a zoo.

Why would any man want to be disrespectful towards women Lin, unless they have major insecurity issues, or hangups about themselves, the baiting game has been exposed for what it is, tainted and poison, cheers David
