Strangely, this is what most American lives turn-out to be.
In our 20s and 30s
we pair up
get married
and celebrate it, like a victory.
A wife wants a man who is career-motivated,
has a fear of losing his job,
and his family.
Sometimes, she stokes this fire with love
using
her red-hot poker.
The roaring 20s are exciting
for alpha lions
looking
for females on the prowl.
The difference between loser and lion on the savanna is enormous.
When women hit 30
and the wall
they search for teddy bears
willing to give free hugs
and be there
right where
she left him.

Funny that you write like you know how a woman thinks. Probably better to speak from the voice you have which isn’t the one that chooses another’s narrative. Ie you can’t speak for what a female wants. Because you’re not one. This is sexism on display. Sad day.

I don’t need to be a woman, to understand a woman. I listen to what they say and do–that’s not sexism. That’s what women want, right? Someone to listen to them.
