THE LOVE A WOMAN DESERVES
THE LOVE A WOMAN DESERVES
You meet a woman; be so kind
and bring to mind she has her plight
as she is weaker than her mate
with whom she shares one room and bed.
Before you think of what you want,
from love to sex, just sympathize.
Make her see you a constant spouse
and not who will her plight augment.
She needs your love only for her;
show her you are her equal half.
When in her house she sees her child,
her future looms much more content.

Oh look ar me!
I’ve once more made it known,
and once more apodictically,
that I believe
the surest way
all woman are to go
to find true happiness,
within their livese
their bliss,
lies in
their married bearing of a child or two,
in doting motherhood,
and being good and docile wives
confined within
their husband’s home.
And those among
the ones I call the “weaker sex”
who think it otherwise,
against the role assigned to them
by God
rebellious, if not sinful, be.

Baldwin,I don't believe in what you say in your, what is supposed to be a poem of yours. Your ideas are completely opposite to what l believe and what l say in my poem. These are your points of view. I ask the readers to be a judge between us.
Re. THE LOVE A WOMAN DESERVES
My piece is just as much of a poem as your preachy piece is.
And I too want to hear from readers of yours as to whether they see you stating in such lines as this --
"When in her house she sees her child,
her future looms much more content."
that a woman's true role is to be a housewife and a mother.
And if you think that what II say in my piece represents what I believe regarding what makes a woman fulfilled, rather than an explication of the values you espouse in yours (not to mention that you have espoused in other submissions of yours), then you show yourself unable to see what my piece is all about.
So let's clear this up. What Are your beliefs about what a woman's god-appointed role is and what is the way in life that a woman should follow in order to find her bliss?
Cue the crickets and the ad hominems.

Baldwin, God's appointed role for a man and a woman are just the same. Each one has his own talents which they should use positively to be satisfied. However, it is natural for them to have the desire to have children. Both of them will have a better future if they have a child or children. Don't you think so, Baldwin?
Re: Re. THE LOVE A WOMAN DESERVES
"Baldwin, God's appointed role for a man and a woman are just the same. Each one has his own talents which they should use positively to be satisfied. "
This is not an answer to my question. I asked you what you thought a woman's god-appointed role is -- is it to be a stay-at-home mother who is also to be subservient all the time to the will of her husband?
"However, it is natural for them to have the desire to have children. Both of them will have a better future if they have a child or children. Don't you think so, Baldwin?"
No, I don't. There are lots of men and women who "naturally" do not want, or have no desire to have children and who have good reason to believe that their futures will be ruined if they have them. Moreover, there are also many people whose futures were ruined because they had children.
Are you really saying that these folks are freaks of nature?

Dear Baldwin,
Who has retained you as a lawyer to answer the messages that come to me?

Re: Re. THE LOVE A WOMAN DESERVES
"Dear Baldwin,
Who has retained you as a lawyer to answer the messages that come to me?"
First of all, I didn't answer a post that came to you. I raised some questions about how it was to be understood.
Secondly, this is a public forum. So there is no prohibition against responding to what appears on it. And one does not need to be a lawyer to do so.
In any case, I see you have fulfilled my prediction that you would not answer the question I posed to you, namely,
"So let's clear this up. What Are your beliefs about what a woman's god-appointed role is and what is the way in life that a woman should follow in order to find her bliss?"

Women are exactly like men, even some women are much better than men because they think before they write and attack other people. They are not like some men you know very well. Therefore, the roles that God appointed to men to find their bliss are the same as those He appointed to women. There are some physical differences. Each side has its own advantages, but they complete each other.
Re: Re. THE LOVE A WOMAN DESERVES
I didn't ask whether the roles god appointed to men and women were the same, I asked what you thought these roles were in terms of what a man or a woman is to do to fulfill them. So you still haven't answered my question.
Is it a man's role to be a wife and mother?

Re. THE LOVE A WOMAN DESERVES
I’ve asked my God
what role he has appointed me
to carry out to be
a man.
He said
that I am tasked
despite my own biology
to be a wife and bearer of
a child.
But somehow that commissioning
sounds less than right.
It's crazy and it's wild.
Do you agree?

You asked me," ls it a man's role to be a wife and mother?"
Ask such a ... question to yourself. You are the best person to answer such a question.

But you said that you knew what the roles are that men and women are appointed to. So why I should ask myself that question is not clear, especially when you presented yourself as the best person to answer it and I did no such thing.
And you STILL haven't answered my question about what role women are appointed to.

Dear Baldwin,
Such ... questions should be answered by the person who asks them. I'll never answer... questions like yours. I have no time to waste.

Re: Re. THE LOVE A WOMAN DESERVES

Why is it a "... question"? It's a perfectly legitimate one especially given your claim that you know what role a man has been appointed to by God.
And the answer to it is either "yes" or "no" So your claim that you don't have time to answer it seems ridiculous given the amount of time you spent telling me that it should be the person who poses a question to someone else should be the one who answers it.
I'll keep this criterion in mind the next time you ask me a question, especially one that I take to be a "..." one.
