curlyingenue:
I’m going to publish this just because I think it leads to an interesting dialogue and this subject has been something on my mind of late and I also find it very problematic. So I’ll paste the first parts to it:

I love you but
grant me time
and serenity
to find a new
place for you
in some of me

where you’re

to lay down
with all my
insecurities my
insanities.

Is that just a way to make men feel more comfortable? Oh, you’re not emotional, hyper-sensitive and jealous; all the things that are somehow attributed to womanhood. Nah, to me it just...
