No Man's Meat

I can't feel pain the way you do,
I guess it's not in my DNA.
Neither's humour, isn't that true?
Or what is it that you want me to say?

And you're genetically predisposed
to lead the pack and run the world.
I'll stay at home and powder my nose,
polish up my virtue and my pearls.

No wait, this is the twenty-first century,
all that crap's behind us, right?
No longer are we unheard, just seen,
we can exercise our might.

-Oh sorry, that's my mistake,
I didn't realise how wrong I was.
We obviously don't have an equal stake,
I'm submissive, you're the boss.

The worst of it is that we go back,
time and again, to be treated like shit.
It's not only societal norms we should attack,
but our fifty percent for not having quit.

Next time my forgiveness won't be so easily won,
next time I will walk away.
When you come knocking I'll be gone,
it's the famed game at which two can play.
