a male's misgivings

by sobroquet

I adore women I refuse to apologize for it I like the way their voices squeak in the upper registers I like the fashions I like the makeup I like the aromas Not the silly runway catwalk Biz that relegates them as awkward mannequins adorns them in  the impractical and cloaks them in the  absurd overreaching  of  the tired  clamoring for something new and unique that which exploits  their  lithesome anorexic perplexing job requirement I like the way they can shape shift, alter and assume new identities I like the fact that some have mood swings and PMS I marvel that they can give birth I like being aware that their  'water-weight' make's  them grumpy I'm astonished that they innately ovulate with  the cycles of the moon and that the Huntress Diana inherently  acquired her namesake Doesn't bother me a bit that "it's a lady's prerogative to be late" or that opening a door for them is considered 'sexist' I was raised with a sister and a mother with lace and dainty  frilly things I caused them a lot of aggravation and consternation I think they enjoyed it - nonetheless somewhat I refuse to apologize for it
