There Will Be No Pity For Those Who Insist

There exists a fine line between seduction and demand.
 
A plague looms among the informed,
the evidence hitting closer to home.
 
In selfish need,
I'm seeing hatred born
and despite our penchant
for a gratifying instant,
the retreat and outright refusal
to be harassed and manipulated
must be revered as a bold stance
to get this world back on track.
 
If she's not smiling and responsive,
and your probing appendage
warrants no interest,
will losing your mind,
exerting your will (and force)
truly release  
this poison  
inside you?
 
That's where you and I differ.
I will not call you brother
for you and your legion
have desecrated the flower beds.
 
The girls hide from the sun,
trusting only each other's company
and who would blame them?
 
These trials have given them a resilience
and the numbers to defeat this behavior.
 
Kindness is not a "come fuck me" invite,
and a skirt isn't worn for your pleasure.
 
Love her fiercely, admire and align,
if you are of the fortunate
to be invited into her company.
 
I reject your insistence  
that you were teased;
that a forced celibacy
made you do it.
 
A man always has options.

Author's Note
This past Tuesday a man drove a rental van into a group of pedestrians and killed 10 people in downtown Toronto.  He blamed the rejection of women as his motive, known as a subculture called The Incel Movement (referring to oneself as an involuntary celibate).
