Men
Men are bigger, stronger, more athletic, better at climbing trees, better at building walls, more prone to being electricians, carpenters, plumbers, builders, ass crack advertisers, sad and bitter, binge drinkers, practical jokers, four-time divorcees, terrible parents, indifferent lovers, Star Trek fans, mentally ill – same thing.
Men are often unsanitary, unhygienic, uncommunicative, unfriendly, unromantic, unloving, unco-operative, unfeeling, unproductive, uncaring, unappreciative, unmoving, unapologetic, unresponsive, unbelievable.
Men have a habit of forgetting birthdays, ignoring anniversaries, not buying presents, not saying thank you, pissing on the toilet seat, pissing on the toilet floor, pissing on the toilet wall, not paying attention when they’re pissing, not paying attention when their woman wants then, not paying attention to how long they’ve lasted in bed, not paying enough attention down there.
Men have been known to complain, criticize, bitch, brag, bully, control, hold back, be jealous, be angry, be furious, be unreasonable be hateful, be the first to hit, be the first to strike, be the first to draw blood, be the first to snap, to demean, to force, to abuse, to beat, to rape down alleyways, in parked cars, in dark rooms, in college dorms, in beautiful fields, in male dominated courtrooms, in male dominated courtrooms, in male dominated courtrooms.
Men have been known to get away with everything.
Women
are running out of patience.

After all that I'm not to sure that my comment is welcome....
The alliterative second verse and listing in the fourth are really well done.
The opening lines of each of your verses show that you know were not all like this.
A well written piece.

Thanks.
The piece seems to have given you the impression I'm a woman; I'm actually male. And your comments are very welcome.

a minute to get my foot out of my mouth.
I read it as though it were imbued with a bitterness which made it seem as though you were a women...
After reading it through a third time I saw there was nothing which actually indicated that...
