Men/Women

Dr. Sona talks about the discrimination between genders, in this verse, exclusively for Different Truths.

Biologically unequal,
The kids are stamped as boys or girls.
Forever unequal and stereotyped,
They begin with a life journey.
Different roles, different treatment,
In the name of patriarchy and social justice.

She is born to serve
He is to be served.
She is left to subservience
He is for dominance.

She succumbs and accepts
He humiliates and rejects.
She cannot complain being brutalized
He remains insouciant.

She nurtures and prunes
He neglects any partnership and violates herself.
