'Because i am a man'
So what do we teach our boys?
Do boys get a sense that girls are their toys?
When does it becomes clear
that boys and girls are equal
and each are to respect the other?
when does play transform
to real fight and abuse
and girls are in fright and often want to take flight,
and girls are used as pleasure toys
for boys and men as
objects of possession,
utility for servant-hood,
slavery,
Misogynistic show offs
to other men
and taming of the Strew
has nothing to do with anything wrong with Catherine
but rather all the men and boys around her
their training as boys and men
always without a glow
of equal respect
they often act without regret
and women and girls learn to accept
thinking that’s the way things ought to be
a gender process
of taming of the Strew
the reasons untrue
male and female
are equal
