Men -
can't live with 'em..
can't shoot 'em.
Break my heart again,
I don't mind, the learning comes with time.
So naive,
I crossed my own boundry and still
I think that

Men -
Always blame the woman
'cause they can't take the slack.
Granted,
I've commited my sins,
but I took all the blame ..
So why, if I may ask, is it okay
to let you get away with such malice and greedy
dispositions,
just because you hold a (supposedly)higher posistion
on the scale of gender.

So, men -
if you'd like to think that life's unfair,
then deal with it.
Grow a pair,
like us women did.

Well, you can shoot 'em, but half the time they don't notice. And the rest of the time they take on like it hurt and you have to do all that holding their hand and rubbing their head, and going 'poor baby' stuff. And have you noticed that any time a man is sick it's the end of the world, but if you're sick dinner better be on the table at 5:30 anyway?

Ahhh, women!  
You can't live with then
and their bones don't make good soup!

OK, OK...HEY!  NO hitting!!!  

This is a great poem.  As a member of the loyal opposition, I just want to point out that each gender has its own set of issues and problems which are unique to that gender.

There is no doubt in my mind that, in general, women's lives are harder and more annoying for them.

Thanks for sharing the apparently much needed rant.

Up front...must admit it can feel like this...
Sometimes I think our expectations seem to fall between the prisms of what society sets, and what we wish for to be.
Well done. TD
