  In a recent thread my emotions ran from hurt to angry to disgust at the language used toward women.

  The tone of which appear to grade and value women like cattle that are herded through an auction ring.

  Would you allow some Man to grade your mother, sister, daughter with these words in your presence?

  I believe the expressions made represent about 2% of the men on JWD.I maybe going out on a limb but I

  believe it is a very sturdy limb. Help prove me right about the great value of women.

  Praise Women

  Praise them! Praise Women! I read his words, then I cried, O these lies How can a woman’s love lie only between her thighs? Foremost I admired him, his work was set on another stage Later I concluded his words of women were words of rage Praise them! Praise Women! For on the faces of all women you can trace The elements of sacrificial suffering in their gaze To hear him say women are libidinous Is not hilarious, rather I deem it as outrageous The women we all know have it tough Every aspect of their life is embroiled with rough Life cycle periodic pains and yet enough is not enough Their agonising vaginal birth anguish isn’t a bluff Praise them! Praise Women! Why curse the women that raise thee Wait for you blindly in love while you are at sea Aid you in your visions of where you want to be! They bring us joy, love and peace Something I request no one to dismiss If only he could see their potential essence He may have appreciated their very presence On earth, women’s love is the voltage of balance The very reasoning of all kinds of romance They give rise to our population By endless copulation and multiplication Which in turn gives rise to all the nations Praise them! Praise Women! We need them in our mist! For without them we cannot exist Praise them! Praise Women! Praise onto the women that raise thee! Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi Sylvia Chidi Caliber

  CALIBER - I second your sentiments on praising women ! I have always thought that when you look in the eyes of the woman you love - it is a mirror in which you can see a reflection of how much you are really reaching the lady you love ! She will let you know everything you need to know by the look in her eyes !
  
  But , then again - verbal communication is important as well ! Most of the time - we men need to listen better to them. Praise and love to all you JWD women out there who make this board what it is ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  What have you done wrong ? Have you upset your wife? - Just kidding

  Agree with you women do get a raw deal often but we can all do our bit to change this by our owm behaviour toward each other

  Without women, there would be no Fag Hags. And then where would we gay men be? Jokes. Seriously. My best friend is a woman, and she astounds me every day with her amazing love and kindness. She has been my pillar on the outside, as have several other women I know, including a substitute mum and several substitute aunts, who have willingly picked up the slack from my family. So praise be to women!

  Much Love

  Ah, thank you Caliber. Yes, I see the man vs woman trend all the time, it is kind of sad. Sometimes I feel like it is one of the true battles, that only individually we can win. I have been raised mostly around men, even though now I have a good deal of female friends, I tend to get along better with males. Whenever I hear a man degrading women it makes me kind of sad. I feel the same way when I hear women putting down the male species.

  It is not to know that we can still be appreciated and loved, so I love the poem. Bravo!
