the Pecking Order
Bloody goddess
prom queen done wrong
your vanity's gone south
you've got nothing but your beauty
to get them to always come flocking
back to your song
So who's this new virgin,
Bloody Mary?
you chose a lamb
young and unafraid,
so carefully tailored
to not be in your way
you don't like a toy
that shines more than you-
you loathe feeling upstaged
"Ethical!" you scream
from your perch
on the rooftops
"look at me!"
gold on your wrists
to hide the blood
on your fingertips
but you only have a crown
so no one can see
you're full of shit

Author's Note
This is to all the women out there who claim they are poly/open but feel they must be the ones to handpick the ladies for their male partners just so they can't feel upstaged. The ones who bully, harass, and put down women their male partners fall for because the woman is a "threat" for having a trait she doesn't possess. This is to the women who for some reason claim to be poly but see all other women in the poly community as competition instead of valuable additions to their friendships, assets to help vet who the safe men are, and equals.
This is for the women who want to be with as many men they want but don't want their men seeing any other women. The One Pussy Policy is an ugly look and is just as bad as the One Penis Policy.
With that said... Henpecking is for chickens.

Personally I don't claim to be anything. I have no blood on my tips. It's called good form. Females aren't a threat it's an insult especially if their incompetent

No one can be everything to someone else....
And having to control someone else only shows a lack of self-respect.
Poly relationships are not for the faint of heart. And trustworthiness is nothing to be tossed away.
Negotiations are boundaries decided on mutually.
So, being relegated or regulated has its own set of issues.
If they wanted subs, they might have been more honest.
Personally, I only want someone who wants to be with me when she's with me. I don't want to domesticate animals or people.
Insecurity only works in codependence. I want all her relationships to be fulfilling and healthy.
Why wouldn't she want the same? I can't change another person, only myself. But I have boundaries....which include clear delineations. Oversteering is where actual problems occur. My primary is just that....primary. No one else is a second class citizen, but they are their own persons with their own commitments. That is how it works for me. Balance.
