this society has SEXUALLY CASTRATED WOMEN!
i have always wanted to be POWERFUL in the expression of my sexuality
but have been taught otherwise
MEN are the powerful ones
the givers
the deciders
The penis
directs
The pleasure of the penis
decides
Men have the strip clubs
the dirty jokes
the illicit magazines
THEY own sex
THEY define it
Women are regulated to love
to the sensitive
All the movies show it
the books
our culture
but at the same time women are expected to be raucous and lusty
to further satisfy the man
MEN’s cycles dictate
THEIR needs
THEIR desires
They are empowered by their brothers, friends, fathers;
ENCOURAGED, EXPECTED!!!!
While we are quietED, reMINDED, REPRIMANDED!
Where is OUR sexuality in this culture?
WHEN does OUR pleasure matter?
(addendum: There are 8000 NERVE ENDINGS in the CLITORIS, dedicated exclusively to female pleasure; while the penis ONLY HAS 4000.)
