Thanks for sharing this poem about how feminist women feel.
I can understand that viewpoint since history offers evidence that women have been prevented from advancing at the same level of men. So the complaint isn’t baseless but has historical evidence to prove that men have indeed abused their power over women. For example there was a time that women were paid less in the USA for doing the same work. Being a woman automatically meant a lower wage. Then they were prohibited from voting. The freed slaves acquired that right before women did. Some universities of higher learning were closed to women.
Of course such conditions have never nee universal since cultures differ in how much authority women have had. Take the Iseni tribe of the Britons where women fought alongside men and Bodicea even led men to battle.
Then thee were the warrior queens of Nubia. Also many women in the home are the bosses. They decorate how they please, appropriate the kids to themselves, and the man is more like a henpecked visitor who is barely tolerated. This happens very often in industrialized Western societies and it is disgusting. No equal rights for men at home?
I do agree that if a woman says no it should be respected. However, if a woman really doesn’t want to arouse a man’s interest, then she should not behave as if she is seeking that interest.
Otherwise men will, ummm, become interested and feel as if they have been played with in a sadistic way when they are rejected.
Common sense should indicate that tempting people and then letting them down causes anger. So that little game should not be part of the female behavior if females really wish not to attract men. In short, doing that and demanding that men not to react is asking men to stop being men and many find that demand irrational. So it takes the cooperation of both sexes to keep that under control. But yes a, when a woman says no it should be no. Just make sure that they aren’t saying
“Yess! Yess! Come on baby! See my boobs and legs?” before saying no-that is all that is required.
Another thing is this. If indeed women want to be treated equally, then why do they use their being females to get away with verbally insulting men in public or provoking them based on the fact that they feel safe because they are women and expect the man to grin and take it? Under equality a man then would have to ignore that the provoker is a woman and react as if she were a man. But if that is done, then there are protests of abuse.
Woman kills man with heel

In short, womanhood should not be used as a shield to abuse men in public or in the privacy of the home. Respect and be respected should be the motto.
