Woman

Woman
I don’t think that I should teach you
Actually, I don’t prefer
To be neither coach nor tutor
The thought alone won’t make me stir
As a female I’m entitled
To feel as feminine as I can
And don’t judge me for expecting
The validation of a man
Not that I am unaware of
My own value or my pride
I just want to be respected
Though weaker vessel, or despite
May my weakness make me precious
May it force a gentle touch
Can chivalry still be requested?
Or would that be a tad too much?
I still prefer to be a woman
With lady looks and temperament
With girly traits whether odd or silly
I consider them a compliment
What makes me different is a virtue
It makes me special, yes indeed
I was created as a woman
To God the glory for this breed.

I think it is a mass delusion to think women are the weaker sex. From personal experience I have learned that is far from true. Well expressed, I do think it is important to celebrate women in the way you described.
