In 1954, William
Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, said: “I think women are foolish
to pretend they are equal to men, they are far superior and always have been.
Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she’ll
give you a baby. If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home. If you give
her groceries, she’ll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she’ll give you
her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So if you give her
any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.”
I’ve written my own poem that captures the spirt of Mr. Golding’s words updated for the 21st century.
