They Made the Patriarchy, Part I
It’s a word the feminists always scream,
‘Patriarchy! Patriarchy!”they say,
claiming that all is set up to oppress,
that men seek to get in a woman’s way,
that this world is made only for the men,
and that we’re scheming to keep them all down,
but something about this doesn’t sit right,
is this world not what women have allowed?
Stubborn fact cannot be done away with,
it is women who choose what men will breed,
in any country that gives them free choice
they get to chose with whom they do the deed.
Even in dark places, cases of rape,
they control if that child will survive,
and in the old days, when forced to marry,
the same reality still did apply.
Are not countless books that we call classics
based on unhappy wives having affairs?
Is not the fear of raising a bastard
something that caused ancient fathers despair?
In the end the women choose who has kids,
and that fact becomes the crux of my thoughts,
if ‘toxic males’ were not what they wanted,
then why were they the men that women sought?
Evolution destroys what does not work,
and selection plays a huge role in this,
for centuries women picked providers
and protectors who could deal with bullsh-t.
They chose aggressive and hardworking types
to father all of the children they had,
since such men increased the odds of survival,
decreased the chance of a life poor and bad.
The masculine types filled in all the gaps,
covered the weaknesses women possess,
physical prowess, and real aggression,
hunting down food in a world full of death.
These roles are still in existence today,
we work jobs now, our paycheck is our spear,
keeps kids from pedos instead of tigers,
still make those who poses a threat quake in fear.
The ones who didn’t want to play this part,
men who didn’t want to live to provide,
they didn’t get chosen to mate with women,
and their descendants were never alive.
So all the men running around today
came from men women felt up to the task,
yet now they complain and call us ‘toxic?’
How the hell do they reconcile that?!
How can they constantly demonize men,
when these are the same men they created?
How do they chose men who pass on these traits,
but decide not to appreciate it?
Now obviously, there’s feminism,
and its influence on the modern age,
they claim that they want men more ‘sensitive,’
but I notice they do not act this way.
CONCLUDES IN PART II.
