Impulses

We seek to understand
The impulses that drive us

Womanly traits
Not always weak or servile
Male traits
Not always discordant or violence-driven

Girls use their wiles
Women gain position with their strength
Girls beguile, their femininity a tool
Women wear it with pride
Girls belittle men
Women respect men to begin again
Girls submit to male abuse
Women stand against it
Girls hold onto the fairy tale
Women know when to let go of the child

Boys posture their masculinity
Men exemplify masculinity with honour
Boys don't show feelings
Men do
Boys use their fists
Men protect
Boys don the cover of power
Men wear it to shape a better world
