Should a Woman Put On Trousers

Should a woman put on trousers?
Yep: ones that don’t men make browsers:
That let Top Secrets remain secret;
Documents eyes should not just meet:
Trousers that won’t hatch Internets,
Lust cause to beat its castanets…

Trousers fully masking Womanhood,
Easily The Misunderstood:
Sometimes, seeming to say “Draw close,
So that you may pick up your Rose…
	
Women may be free with trousers
But trousers could turn howitzers: 
Pastors and Imams gunning down, 
Priests causing to smile who should frown,
Maiden forcing to dump her gown;
Strongly shake the firmest crown!

And may men put on the skirt?
Yeah: if their trousers packed up dirt
And nearing it could image hurt
Worse than a woman’s for Shirt.
