Why Do I Emasculate A Certain Type Of Man? Poem by Elizabeth Torres

Why Do I Emasculate A Certain Type Of Man?



He challenges women
Jealous of women
Hate women
Strong women
It makes him feel inadequate
Because strong women wont quit
If he's attracted to a strong woman
and he can't have that strong woman
He then goes on a campaign trail
derails
her Goals
The Low blows
Towards the strong woman who knows
A good man
The rats
she detects
and rejects
Because his heart is not set
on winning together
only winning by destroying the good woman
Why Do I Emasculate A Certain Type Of man?
Because he's willing to kill
The strong warrior woman he blames for his dysfunction.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
There is a war against Women and I'm up against men in authority who expect you to bow down like some of their wives or girlfriends, But a certain type of man really hates women. Men who compete with women
And are willing to hurt Women to win at all cost, I despise.
Please pray for these men.

It seems most men are afraid of even the idea that a women could be stronger than them. When they encounter a woman that is such, it's likely that, rather than show the emotion of their fears being realized, they might react in a more standoffish manner. A good poem brining attention to a societal norm which needs to be revised. The authors note, however, puzzles me a bit. Do you despise these men? Or pray for them? I'm not religious, and far from an authority on prayer, but in my understanding it can't be both.
