Put Women At The Helm. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Patriarchy is a biological construct,
Which allots hunting to males and breeding to females.
Patriarchy is also a social construct,
Which allots reigning to males and keeping to females.
Men wrote scriptures, men wrote history and men wrote laws.
With no income, women became man's property.
Masterly and slavery attitudes set in.
Woman access to economic resources
Is the key to woman empowerment in full.
Woman is prone to do fewer offences than man.
Being motherly, she is good to manage.
