DISSIMULATION
DISSIMULATION
A man may think that he can,
Control and subjugate a woman.
By his sheer physique,
To offset her mystique…
Trough violence and oppression,
By anger and aggression…
A man may cajole
A woman
By gentle persuasion…
By showing off
Mere love and infatuation…
You think you can
Win her into abject submission?
Even in the so-called consensual act,
More often than not it’s found correct:
In case she doesn’t like you,
Only she’s got the power,
It’s true.
You may have her body not her soul:
What you get is a dead part of the whole!!!
You can’t ever guess it, can you?
As a woman can as well fake:
She may have the cake
And eat it too!!!

Excellent piece and you hit the nail on the head. yes, a woman can fake it when she feels she has to. You are also right in that tenderness not force,truth not deceit,love, not control will bring her closer to you. A woman likes a strong man but not of physical might but of character,a man's man but not a bully and not a wuss. She wants to feel his sentimental, sensual,and true self not some plastic loudmouth pushy bully. She likes him to control a situation that is mutally amicable not one sided and yet let her be her individual self.......
With apology for being so late
Yes I do agree...It is long claimed by Plato that the wise do injustice voluntarily whereas the fools do involuntarily.
The wise need to do once in a while even in a life time knowing full well what is just and injust yet the same is not true for ordinary mortals like us..Thanks a lot for your kind comments!
